Cub Cadet 2166 , starts and stalls

I have seen this question here before, but the answers did not help me. I think the problem is in the ignition circuit. It will start and run , then die as soon as the key is not in start position. I am not getting voltage to the shut off solenoid, so I ran a connection to the battery (temp) for a test. Spark is good when cranking but will die as soon as key is just on, not cranking. I disconnected the ignition module ground wire ,but it does not start at all. What is killing the ignition?

you sure its not in the key switch itself, like a sticking tumbler? try to lube inside key switch
