Further to my recent question and some of everyones kind answers I have checked a few more things
I have done a voltage check on the wire to the starter solenoid in the off position there is no power swiched to run there is a feed at 11.8 volts (Which I would assume is incorrect)
when wire is re connected to the starter and the ignition is turned to run Starter turns but there is no spark if I then turn the ignition to starter on the spring load portion of the switch the starter continues to turn and I get a spark at the plugs.
From this I assume that there is a short somewhere as I have checked the switch, I more confused than ever
DVOM is Digital Volt/ Ohm Meter
NAPA is an auto parts store (Never Any Parts Avaliable)
B and S are terminal markings on the back of the switch. B for battery, and S for start. I have seen a few oddball switches where S is marked E for exciter (the name for the wire that goes from the switch to the small terminal on the starter solenoid to excite it, or turn it on.
