[QUOTE="ZedBed, post: 312716, member: 8054"] What you are describing is the same as shorting the terminals with a screwdiver which you already know works. Your prob is that you aren't getting enough juice from the switch to the spade terminal on the starter. Could be crusty connection on the starter, old high resistance wiring, or poor connection in the ignition switch itself. The infamous hot-wiring relay gets over all/most of these problems by sourcing 12v from the fat wire on the starter and sending it direct to the spade, using the original feed from the ignition switch to trip the relay.
