Yes, I can. Take out your key switch. grab a cheap toggle switch and a push button or momentary switch from a local hardware or auto parts store. Find the power in wire (Comes off the Amps meter, I think it is either red or green, check the wiring diagram in the tech section) hook that wire up to one side of the toggle switch. hook up the wire going to the coil to the other side of the toggle switch. make a wire to go from the toggle switch to the push button. locate the wire that activates the starter solonoid. attach it to the other side of the push button. so, toggle switch off, it should not have spark or turn over. with toggle switch on, it will have spark. push the push button to turn the engine over till it starts.

does this make sense? this fix will only allow it to start and run, no PTO or lights. If you are not handy with automotive wiring and basic electrical principles, simply visit the site of one of our sponsors, and pick up the appropriate key switch. it will save you time and frustration if you are not 100% confident you can hotwire it. Just my $.02

Thanks for the help I did wind up getting a new switch. I just wanted to know so I could get it moved
Thanks
