Measure what the switch does in the RUN position with your multimeter.

No idea what the wiring for the LML Star is like, but traditional two-stroke Vespas stopped the engine by grounding the coil with a momentary switch.

So the question is: is it wired like a modern bike, with the kill switch interrupting the power to the spark? OR like a vintage bike, where it grounds it with a momentary switch?

The nature of the switch (momentary vs on/off) might offer a clue.

I should have moved this to NSM to begin with. There's likely to be quite a bit more specific knowledge from the vintage guys. Hopefully OP will get a better answer.

Do you mean at the column lock or the kill switch at the headset? They both ground the ignition, so you need to disconnect it.

What are you trying to accomplish? That's probably a better starting point for this conversation.

It's the bit of green al dente spaghetti that's causing the problem
