Well is it I guess it is a 12 volt system. Slow turn over means weak battery or poor connections. As for no power to the coil try this. Run a wire from the + side of the battery since you have a - ground system to the coil and see if it runs. If it does then your problem is from the coil back to the battery if you still have no spark at the plugs then the problem is in the distributor

MnNC........yep, that's what I'd do. BTW, NEVER use WD-40 fer key locks (switches) It gums up the little spring loaded knobbys. Git the proper squirt'um from a real locksmith. Powdered graphite is NOT the right stuff either. Just makes yer pockets dirty ........Dell

Yep if you run a jump across the switch and it fires up it is a bad switch simple as that
