I did not mean to give the impression that the switch was the cause,
only that it is a possible cause in spite of the fact that your starter
cranks fine. Lots of other possibilities exist. The suggestion to try a
jumper from the alternator to the coil is a good one. It is a simple and
quick troubleshooting approach. If this cures the failure to start, then
you need to pin down the exact reason and fix it.
