Hello all
I am having a starting issue with my 1978 Scout II, 345, T19, Tilt column, recent rewire about 4 years ago, have had no issues until recently. (no bulk head connectors)
Until about a month ago I was able to start my scout with the key with the steering wheel either up or down, but slowly I had to have my steering wheel in the down column. Now I am unable to start my Scout no matter the position of the steering wheel.
I am able to jump the starter with a screwdriver.
I have done some poking around and if I pull up really hard on the actuator rod going to the switch and then turn the key I can get the Scout to start.
Does this mean the switch at the bottom of the column has burned out? Or do I have to replace the gear and stuff up in the column? Or is there a longer rod that can be had?
Thank you.
