ign switch
 

day before yesterday the spanish popout ign switch on my speedster craped out and i had a ride planned for today. i road a 76 harley for 29 years and would pickup a 3 position ign switch at any auto supply reasonably cheap if i remember. they would last a few years until the vibration got them. these switches had 3 screws on the back b+, ign, and acc. no one seems to carry this switch any more. i found a switch at napa that had studs on the back, one of which i had to cut short to keep it from hitting and shorting out. i found a switch on ebay or amazon listed as a model a replacement and looks like the switch i used to run my harley, but they are $60.00 + you can find all kinds of ign switches in the $20.00 range. the after market kit carried by some of the suppliers i think uses the switch i'm looking for. i've already cut back the cable and want just that compact universal switch. any ideas?

someone on my thread about the carter electric fuel pump had suggested a supplier for that type of switch. see if you can find it there. i will try as well.

here is wat i was talking about. i know nothing about what it is but the link didn't work for me.
maybe you can track it down.

You can get an ignition switch with an ACC. lug on it. From Bert's : .https://modelastore.com/ignition-key...roduct_id=4144

Larry, I think the switch you are looking for is a Borg Warner
CS99 on-off-on or CS98 on-off. There are some on epay now.

If all else fails put a toggle switch on it for the time being.
No one but you will know how to start it anyway.

thanks guys.... i finally found it on ebay for $20.00 + shipping. it is sold as a
universal motorcycle switch. i rode my old super glide for 29 years and used this same switch. this iiks like the one the "a" parts guys are selling at a higher price. i don't know why the auto parts don't sell this any more.
