The ignition is stuck in the off position. It's been kind of flaky for a few years. But always worked, until now. I looked online for a replacement part, they don't make it any more and everyone, except eBay is out. Used are selling for $75 and up. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if anyone knows how to hot-wire it.If I could find the wiring diagram, I might be able to figure it out. But if someone's already done this and willing to share, I'd be eternally grateful.

Well the diagrams are not very clear unless I buy the service manual.

But goes...

All white wire is the battery lead. Common to the other positions.
Wire with the yellow stripe is run/on position
Wire with the white stripe is the start position wire.
Not 100% sure I got a clear enough image to pull this from.
