ignition switch problem Series lll

[deer_hunter]

Turn key to start, engine starts but have to manually turn key back to 'on' so starter will not keep turning. Does anyone know if the return function is in the replaceable tumbler only or does the whole switch have to be replaced?
Thanks

I beleive that the switch portion is about a $30 part that attaches to the end of the tumbler. The switch contains the return spring (IIRC).

If the RN guys do not have it then I know George has them. I just replace mine a few months back.
