Echo Bear Cat chipper/shredder SC3206E Ignition Switch

Thanks again, StarTech. I sent PartsTree an online form question asking about the switch, so hopefully I hear back from them in a day or three. The place I bought the unit from works only a half day Saturday and closed Sunday so I should hear from them today or tomorrow.

Have you tried spraying WD40 into the switch or powdered graphite?

Gord,
Powdered graphite is to lubricate key tumblers
Graphite is conductive so not a good idea to put it in a switch.

The tumblers in the lock are in no way part of the electrical portion of the switch. It lubricates without attracting dirt.
