would the clutch safety sensor stop the motor from firing ????

how do you push it in manually?if it is connected to the clutch pedal,then that would serve the same purpose as if it wasnt broken,otherwise if it is turning over if you push it in with your fingers or however then it would not or should not keep it from firing.if it was running and then the switch broke and cant be pushed in by the pedal,and then it stopped running,then their may be some kind of relation to the switch.cross the wires goin to safety switch and try but dont leave it rigged if it runs.may cause accident.you may not be able to see if the contact in the switch is touching if you dont cross the wires or make the connection for the switch.switch could be bad also,so try jumpin the wires one to the other and check it
