The new tumbler fixed my no start issue. Really simple job to drill out the housing to access the spring lock on the tumbler. The old tumbler was full of slop and wouldn't engage the plastic ignition switch. One other thing I did while in there that everyone should take note: I doused the top steering column ball bearing assembly good with some Royal Purple general purpose synthetic lube and my steering effort has decreased a good 20%! I thought all along that I had too much positive caster. Amazing how many fixes we just stumble on.
