No, Only a closed circuit kill switch will work. Most standard kill switches are open circuit. I may have that back wards though.

Yeah Cannondales have an open circuit system and all the others have a closed circuit system.

So if you hooked one up, it would only run when pressed. Kinda like other tethers except pingle

No, call up Haydug, check Ebay, or various other sources. They all have them somewhere around $50 new. Better to get it right the first time. Besides, I'm not sure on your local Honda dealer, but the ones they sell at mine don't last more than a few months before they quit working anyway.

thought I post this and maybe save somebody a couple of bucks (about 30 instead of 50)
this one would work for a dale because its the same type as a pingle. Even has the diagram to wire it up!!
This is a great site, i learned a lot from it.

From doug gust website

Mine did this too at first but found out a small fix, for mine atleast. I spliced and reconnected the wires different and then coated them w/some electrical tape down the entire setup to the switch itself. It works perfectly all the time now.
