Does anyone sell a decent starter switch? I bought one from Mac's about a year ago. It is no longer any good. (Probably about 25-30 starts since replacing it) It is stuck in one position near the floor. (Does not go down or spring back up) I took it apart and noticed the cheap little rod of fiber/ plastic that is between the plunger and copper contact strip was kind of buggered up. On the bench I can kind of get the switch/plunger to move up and down, but installed the foot plunger just stays in one position near the floor and the starter of course does not operate. I adjusted the length of the plunger and lubed the firewall rubber bushing (where the rod goes through) but still nothing. The starter motor works fine when I apply 6 volts directly to the contact on the motor housing.
If anyone knows where I can get a good one please let me know.

Also is there supposed to be any kind of spring in the switch that might have broken and fallen out?

Thank you
 
Thanks for the link. I was kind of thinking already that the new switch might be angled slightly off so the plunger sticks or goes in at the wrong angle.
