Thanks for the reply mechhound. I found a new ignition switch on ebay, as you suggested, but I don't really think my problem is the ignition switch. When I put it all together, I can start the mach and shut if off just fine with the ignition switch that I have. I believe it is inside the steering column in between the switch and the neutral safety switch. It is hard for me to explain without showing it to you, but it just seems like I'm not getting the linkage put together right after having the steering column apart. The ignition switch does not turn counterclockwise far enough to allow the steering wheel to lock or go into the accessory position. Any more suggestions or do you still feel like I should replace the switch?
