I tried tapping on the key mechanism with a rubber tipped hanle of a screw driver after puting some WD40 on the key and working it back and forth in the cylinder and it worked. I will get a new ignition assembly/cylinder if it happens again. I suspect it was either a stuck pin or a piece of dirt in the mechanism. Also, I will blow it out with compressed air.
Thanks a ton tightwad
