Hello prd,
Nice pick up on the 2nd solenoid, didn't know Honda did that.
Yes, seat unoccupied should kill spark.

Regarding most ride ons, safety switches, in general, don't they want you to be sitting in the seat, blades disengaged, foot on the brake before power can be applied to the coil to start the engine?

Would like to hear of others experiences.

I did at one stage draw out how the safeties are all interconnected with the magneto and solenoid.
If I find it I will upload it.

I understand that each ride on, brand or model will vary from one to the other.
