That's what I'll do. Thanks.

I have an older commercial Bunton with 16 HP B&S engine and electric
start. However the electric start system does not have a solenoid. The
battery cable goes to the keyed ignition switch and from there to the
starter motor. This carries all the juice for the starter, and the lugs
on the ignition switch are really hefty and the connection is a screw
type. Need to replace the switch finally, but old one is not available.
Does anyone know of a source for such a switch. A bunch of old machines
by David Bradley and others were wired this way too, I think. I have
magneto ignition so an M connector on switch would be nice for shutting
it off, but not essential. Have tried lots of different dealers with no
luck. Need an old timer's advice perhaps.
Thanks!!!!!!

If you're sure there's no solenoid, couldn't you just add
one? Then all you need is a momentary switch, or a new key
with assembly. It's easy, you just spit your hot and make
sure you have good ground to everything electrical.
