So I pulled apart the switch module on the Chonda GX-200 clone last night. I am surprised at how basic the wiring is. Just four connectors, two for on/off and two for making the connection to the starter motor. The off position is exactly the same as the old style "kill switch" - just grounds out the coil. So it is nothing fancy. I see no reason why I should run into problems by leaving the key turned on and running basic bypasses for on/off and starter. If anyone can see any problems I am potentially missing, please post. I am already aware of the possible risk of bumping a starter button while the engine is running, but I came across a cheap timer delay relay online which could easily be put in the starter circuit to disconnect the starter motor a short while after starting.
