Jack:
After re-reading your post, it appears, based on your description of your old switch, you have keyed igniton AND keyed start. Basically, here is how that works:
(1) You are going to have a hot wire from the battery coming in onto the switch. That's one post.
(2) When you turn the key to the "on" position (check with continuity tester) one of the other posts is going to get hot. The wire from that post goes to your coil. That's the second post.
(3) The third post will get hot only when you twist the key to the momentary/start positon. (Again, check with continuity tester.) The wire from that post goes to your solenoid. That's your third post.
You can easily figure out which post is which with a simple continuity tester.
Hope that answers your question.
