Superjet cranks but no start / no spark? Easily check the start/stop switch first

Here's a quick video on how to determine whether the start/stop switch is causing your starting issue. Common failure on all 2-cycle SJs.

Good video to show visually how to test for a no spark issue caused by a bad start/stop switch. I disagree with what you say is the cause of the failure though. Have not seen a switch fail due to a ‘weak spring.’ Instead, the rubber boot over the lanyard switch fails and water gets inside the switch causing the issue.

Ah ok - thanks for the info! I'm relatively new to the Superjet world. I'll add that to the video description too
