Thanks for the roses! :-)

Since that post I got a point file and cleaned up the 4 sets of points
some were pitted.
Then I cleaned the cap that has the detent holes, dried up grease and
some wear, with brake cleaner.
Then used brake cleaner on the switch assy. Then I found some crap
on the cam surface that might have been part of the points when the switch
was virginal. I had to struggle to scrape it off with the point file and
wonder if that tiny dot of metal on the cam surface could have dragged the
contact arm out of kilter. Then a little fine grit wet and dry paper on the nasty spot on the cam surface.
Then blast with brake cleaner , and apply dielctric grease to the detent holes
in the cap and the two cam surfaces.
Then smack the 4 crimp sufaces back at the vise with a 5/32 round punch.

Now I'm sitting with an unknown quantity ignition switch, and wonder if
my curiosity will overwhelm my inertia to take out the new switch and try the old one to see what happens.... stay tuned :-)

Oh, Yes! I'm grateful as heck to all the support I get from Klaus and others here on the 850 board...I'm on the steep part of the 850 learning curve and really appreciate the help.
