ignition switch problem
Hey guys,
I don't ask many questions here,mostly because I have figured most of this stuuf myself,or I search,but this one has me bugged. My 79 GS recently when I started it has been doing something that I need to get fixed ASAP. When I was trying to start it yesterday the key would not click back to run from start when I released it,and even if I turned it back to off,or acc the starter was still engaged. I am thinking it is a sticky ignition switch,but is it the electrical switch,or the mechanical part of the key mechanism? What is the best way to clean the electrical part up without damaging it? I have removed an ignition switch on my 83,so as long as it is the same I am all set with the removal,but I have never cleaned upan ignition switch.
I am sorry if this has been cover ad nauseum,but I couldn't find it,and I am sure I will get the forehead slap if it was cover thorughly,and I missed it.
