The engine "runs" only as long as the key is held in the Start position. The engine dies as soon as the key is released to the Run position. Ignition Switch replacements appear to be unavailable.
Any suggestions?

Hi there,

You can purchase after market ignition switches, but they are a bit bulky. Depending on how fussy you are about looks, you can just fit a 1or2 position toggle switch for the ignition and a press button for the starter. An isolator switch fitted to the battery will deter theft as well.
