I replaced the ignition switch, key cylinder. I found that I got to turn all the way past "run" position to turn in the engine. Then also when I turn the key back for just power on there is no power at all.

Those are the classic symptoms of the ignition switch is out of adjustment. It is mounted with two screws that go through slotted holes. Those holes are slotted to allow for the adjustment.
