Do not make the mistake of trying to use a generic NAPA key switch as the Glow Plug operation will be messed up.

Hey thanks Dave. It's been hard to work out my startup gremlins. I just jumped across from the battery to the post coming from the switch and it fired. So it seems a new switch will help.
