I guess what I'm saying is the toggle switch will technically be an N/C switch even though the starter part of the switch works on the N/O principle. With a magneto, kill switches are backwards to what you find in a car or motorbike. OFF is ON and ON is OFF. So for a mower an ON/OFF flick switch is basically just an upside down N/C switch.

I was wrong in my earlier photo when I suggested one of those Chinese switches is N/C and the other N/O. They are in fact both N/C switches, although the "push button" part is N/O. I will probably end up buying one to satisfy my own curiosity and see if there might be some way to reverse the wiring (or the entire switch) to turn that part of the switch into an N/O switch.
