Here is the diagram for a later model one. Should be bolt #10 and piece #20 in the above diagram. Remove these and unhook the switch and the entire unit should come out.


looks like your 2000 should be the same as above

I believe that is exactly what I needed it looks identical, Thanks a million !

Before you go to the trouble of removing the switch, follow the wiring down. You will most likely find a break in one of them near the tiller's pivot point. It would also be a good idea to insure that all the black-ylw stripe wires are connected to the switch box. The stop button is nothing more than a momentary contact switch. They can corrode and become non-operational but by a large margin, the problem is usually found in the wiring. Good luck
