Replacing the ignition switch?

[blackd]

Does anyone have experience/directions for replacing GC2400 ignition switch?

I had to pull mine back in 2021 (needed cleaning badly) but don't remember much about it. would think if was hard something would have stuck in my mind.

Do you remember how to dismantle the new switch to install

no don't remember anything really.just that I had to blow it all out with shop air due to crud.

An update: These ~82YO eyes and brain finally happened into a realization that this ignition switch is identical to all others they have encountered. This is a well designed/pretty unit with the black on black retaining ring nearly impossible to detect (remember the ~82YO eyes and brain), but it screws off just like most other switches. It is an easy fix.

So God willing, and with warmer weather, I will complete this job. Just not today.

thought it was setup like that just was not able to verify. eyes only 57 but getting cataracts removed soon. looked real quick at my gc2400 and was also not able to easily see ring this time. thanks for the update.
