[Mgs] 78 B fires right up and dies

[Blair J. Weiss]

List,
I am having another (probably simple) problem...

Turn the key, the motor fires right up. Return the key from start to 
regular, engine dies. If I hold the key in the start position, the motor 
will run (and so does the starter motor)... trust me I know the difference 
between really running and just kinda running along with the starter 
engaged...

I don't have a schematic handy and I don't have a second person to turn the 
key while I check voltages... Are there two different contacts on the 
starter switch, one on the regular on position and another on the start 
position... could I just have dirty contacts or does this seem like 
something else?
