Jonsered 2172 on off switch question

[bt2172]

Seems my Jonsered 2172 doesn't want to quit when I turn the kill switch on it sputters and kicks and after a few times stalls out.  When it was new it shut off immediately.   I was wondering how hard it is to change the switch?  Does it just pry out of its mount and you can insert a new one or do you have to take most of the saw apart to get to it?

Thanks for all help and advice in advance.

You have a loose wire connector on the backside of the switch.  Just pry the switch out. Pinch the connectors with some pliers to tighten up.

All the switch does is connect the ignition to the case. The switch just pops out.
I really like the switch that is spring loaded to the on position.

Thanks for the replies  I checked the switch and the connectors.  Switch works fine when tested with my meter.  The connections are tight and I even crimped them a little more to be sure.  Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.

Could it be the wire connection on the other end?  If so how hard is it to access them?

It could be the coil end. Should be a spade connector on coil that wire connects to. Should see coil and wire when you remove the starter recoil housing - normally 4 bolts that are hex or T-27 or maybe slotted.
Other possibilities:
Kill wire is broken. Just make another one.
Kill circuit in ignition coil module has failed.  Replace coil or choke it every stop.
