So for whatever reason when I hit my ignitionswitch it doesn't always work. Hit the switch 5 or so times and eventually it fires.

Any thoughts?

Take it apart and clean the terminals with some sandpaper or steel wool. The connection is corroded. Its really easy.

I haven't taken mine apart, but others have little springs that leap out easily and then can't be found, so be careful.
