Abstract

A system for interrupting ignition is disclosed. Specific implementations of ignition interrupters may include a first conductive tab configured to couple to a spark plug; a second conductive tab configured to couple to a spark plug wire; a first tab holder coupled with the first conductive tab; a second tab holder coupled with the second conductive tab, where the second conductive tab overlaps with the first conductive tab; a sled positioned perpendicularly to a plane of the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab, the sled coupled between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab; a first spring coupled to the sled; and a second spring coupled to the sled; where the sled may be configured to move to an open position in the gap between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab, decompressing the first spring and the second spring.

Claims (7)

1. A system for interrupting ignition comprising:

a first conductive tab comprising a first end and a second end, the first end configured to couple to a spark plug;

a second conductive tab comprising a first end and a second end, the first end configured to couple to a spark plug wire;

a first tab holder coupled with the first end of the first conductive tab, the first tab holder coupled to a base;

a second tab holder coupled with the first end of the second conductive tab, the second tab holder coupled to the base;

a sled comprising a first end and a second end, the sled coupled between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab;

wherein the sled is configured to move to an open position in a gap between the first conductive tab and the second conductive tab to disconnect the spark plug from the spark plug wire.
