I've recently replaced the ignition cylinder, due to worn pins, couldn't turn key easily. With the new cylinder in the engine cranks but dosen't turn over. I've also noticed the gas needle is not registring anything, even in accessory mode. The cylinder has (3) plastic plugs that clip into it. I'm sure the problem is there, but don't know how to go further?
