Dan;I'm going with defective ignition switch, or probablymore likely, improperly wired. Shouldn't be verydifficult to troubleshoot, but shut off the fuel andground the P-leads before you mess with it. You'llneed to pull the cowling enough to get to the magP-leads or at least be able to get a continuitymeter onto the leads. You'll also need someone tomove the switch while you check each one.Obviously the "off" and "both" positions work rightso something else is funny in there.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:15:51 -0700 (PDT)
