Up until a few minutes ago, the engine would not when the key was on START.  It 
would ocassionally catch as the key was released - gonna guess the motor was 
rotating and was ready to fire when the key hit the RUN position. I check the 
circuit from IGN2 on the switch to the ballast resistor and everything has 
continuity. So now all of a sudden it starts on START. Maybe the electrical 
contact cleaner did it's job along with the sliding contacts against each other 
as I disconnect and reconnect the wiring. 
But, now I have another problem - it starts on START but won't run when the key 
is released.  Typically this is the ballast resistor but I've checked and it 
still has continuity. 
What happened??? What do I check now?
