I can watch the spring in the ignition switch move when the connector
rod moves.
I am leaning towards being sold a bad ignition switch.

Looks like the negative battery cable was in pretty bad shape.
Replaced and able to connect the broken fuse link without it burning
more. Braided ground wire was still very nicely intact.
Now I am unable to determine the fusible link gauge used for this
model. Have green and orange coated wires for the links, so not sure
if they indicate different gauges. So far all I have found at the
local parts shop is black fuse link wire.
Once I get this I assume some resin core solder should do the trick
with a good tape job. I also have liquid wire coating that I could use
that may work better.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
