Ignition Sw Kaput

Three times yesterday my 130 stalled on me. I knew I was low on fuel, but didn't think I was that low.

Worked out it was the ignition sw playing up. Have just ordered one so next week I will have the fun job of removing the dash and trying to install a new switch!

Isnt it in the column ? It will just unplug but you will probably need to grind the bolts out as they usually have the security bolts that the heads shear off when tightened up. Or use a hacksaw blade and cut a slit just big enough to use a flat blade screwdriver to undo.

You go in through the dash to access it. The Barrel assy stays in place, and the switch is held in the back of it. I have already had to remove it to bodgy it up to get going this afternoon.

Ordered a new sw assy $66. Should be here monday.
