I have a jd 40c that was running when I bought it, now can't get it running. i'm not sure which position the ignition switch should be in. I thought it was the first click to the right but not sure. I put in new points and condenser with no change, still won't start. I put the switch where I thought should be on and checked for power at the + side of coil with a test light but i'm not sure if I did it right as it is positive ground. I hooked the test lead to the frame and touched the probe to the + side of coil, no light. now i'm thinking the switch must be bad. does this sound right? how much trouble do they have with these switches as I also have an mc that basically acts the same. thanks in advance for any advice. 01hunter570
