Worked perfectly
Switch was easy to install and worked perfectly. It was better insulated than the original part. I unfortunately let the engine run out of oil so I have to rebuild an engine over this winter.

True root cause was a failed safety switch in the transmission. The switch was supposed to close when the transmission gear shifter was placed in neutral. Probably didn\'t need to replace the starter switch and the solenoid but they work fine.
Disconnected the plug attached to the back of the starting key switch Removed the thin nut at the front of the key switch holding holding it in place. Removed the key switch and reassembled using new parts in the reverse order. Very simple.

ignition switch was not working as it should have.
1. removed nut from front of switch.
2. removed wires, checked for dirty connections.
3. connected wires to new switch.
4. bolted new switch back in place.
Removed the old shoot control and replaced with it with the new parts. The parts received where even better than I had expected and every part that I needed to make the repair. I rate my experience as 5 Stars PLUS
