Hi all, I am after an ignition switch to suit My daughter's '69 Bug. The ignition sometimes starts and sometimes ...zipp..zilch..nutting. try again in 5 minutes and it works !!!
Me thinks there is something wrong with the switch.
It has a brand new 550CCA battery and the Gennie charges at about 14 volts.
It is becoming a bit of a hassle having to make sure I/she parks it on a slope so that it can be cluth started if need be.

Cheers

it might be the switch at the end of the ignition the contacts can become burnt and dont make contact and they are spring loaded, try spraying some lube into the ignition and switch .

you need the Plastic Ignition module below the actual key and barrell assy

this should be renewed as its full of spring n contact points that fall to pices very easy
