What was found

(CAN) THE ACFT WAS HAVING STARTING ISSUES. THE IGNITION AND START SWITCH, A TURN AND PUSH TO START WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IF THE SWITCH WAS NOT HELD HARD OVER IN THE START POSITION BEFORE PUSHING ON THE SWITCH IT WOULD NOT WORK. IT ALSO REQUIRED A LOT OF FORCE TO PUSH IN AND GET IT TO WORK.
