Also, I don't believe the 782 is equipped with a "frustrating reverse relay".
While a viable idea, sometimes in that old of machines, disturbing the wiring harness and or plugs, one winds up having to replace components in both machines because of degradation/frailty of components.
There are 2 wiring configurations, depending if it is a Ih built or CCC/mtd built.
The latter has the reverse relay.
Add to that if a magnum happens to be swapped in, there is a modification to the wiring with a relay added or a different ign switch.
(Prolly not the case in this situation as OP mentions it has an ign. coil)
I'm betting the ign switch internally, has lost its contact caused by the internal sliding contacts erosion.
Only un crimping the terminal board from the switch body would reveal that.
Blaw Blaw Blaw I'm too long winded
