If the switch doesn't fix your starting problems (assuming that's why you swapped it  :undecided:) take a look at the starter motor and you will see a single wire that attaches to the rear, it is the wire that energises the coil.  The connector corrodes and this can cause poor starting issues, chop it off and replace  :wink:
