A Couple of questions!
I have an holder homelite Enforcer that I am retrofitting.
My 1st question is, I purchased the push rod switch assembly. The leads on this assembly are new to me, they are 2 pin. My battery pack and reciever use 3 pin connectors. How do I go about getting connectors or adapters that will allow the push rod switch to work with my equipment?
#2. Is the enforcer EKG compatible with homelite engines? Are there any instructions available online that I can look at for…

Hey Man you need to get some pics of your boat up on the web!
Blair, That's great! Glad to have you as a Enforcer owner.
Thanks,

Blair,
The EKG is a device I designed that in simple terms is a normally open switch with the two blue wires being the switch legs. It will work with any ignition engine that has a ( coil tap ) wire that when shorted to the block will kill the engine.
It is placed in the battery circuit after the switch and before the receiver battery input, this way it is protecting both the battery pack and switch for mechanical connection failure.
The internal circuit is looking for a constant 3.2 volt input of power, I found this to be the lowest threshold of power safety. If the unit senses a drop below the 3.2 it will "close" the switching circuit ( 2-blue leads) and in effect short the coil tap ( black ) wire to the block, killing the engine.
If the circuit senses no voltage present it will also do the same function, so in short it's only function is a voltage go-or-no-go device. Since today's radio include radio frequency fail-safes, the EKG is the secondary protection device that the radio fail-safe can not protect, as without battery voltage present at the receiver the receiver would not function to enable the radio's fail-safe to move the throttle servo to the idle or off position.
If you start your engine and turn the receiver switch off and the EKG is wired in correct, it will stop the engine . If the batteries are low below the 3.2 volt threshold it will react like a rev-limiter and in some cases open and close the circuit depending on the battery voltage fluctuation,
If you purchased this from us and it is not working properlly and within the 90 day warranty we will replace it at no charge.
You can also call me an we can go over your installation. In some cases the "reed" switch inside the device can close and hold in that position. Give the unit a few hard taps with a screwdriver handle and it should release.
Thanks,
Tony C.
Hello my good friend,
How are you? I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. contact me through my email: david.hurley27@yahoo.com
