I appreciate the offer Spokes
really nice of you.
It wasn't a bad ignition switch at all, it was assembler error.
When I pulled the ignition apart to get the broken key out I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the contacts. When the back up ignition arrived I took pictures as it was disassembled. Took mine apart and it my mistakes were obvious.
Now, all the electrical works as it should
You can see here I had two of the three ignition contacts in the wrong place.
Here is a picture of how they are supposed to be (using the wire clampdown as a reference point)
Today was also a big day because the engine started for the first time in 40 years! (video below)
I wasn't planning to start it up rather put gas in to check for leaks.
Had a slow drip where the fuel line connects to the carb. It's one of those compression fitting pieces like I posted earlier of the petcock.
Anyhow, it was leaking so I put a hose clamp on the gas line and epoxied the fitting into the carb.
Then I decided what the heck, I'll give it a kick.
You can see from the video I'm not sure what I'm doing and nervous trying to shut it down. I suspect I didn't have throttle control because the idle is set too high and no gas coming into the carb, so on top of it it was leaning out.
Can you guys offer some advise on starter carb settings?
