[QUOTE="Jon T, post: 911082, member: 10328"] Short story shorter: my key broke off in the ignition. I was hoping the teeth might line up inside to allow me to use the remainder part of the key to turn the switch and make it work, but no joy. I have a spare key, but until I get the old piece out it appears as if I'm out of luck. A quick search of this site suggested a bent guitar string. I might have to look into that. I don't recall whether it was a specific one (I'm assuming the smallest string?). Other than that, any other suggestions? It is currently stuck at my work. I don't have a trailer, so will be working on it in the parking lot there. I'm pretty handy with the basic tools I own, but far from being a mechanic. Welcome your suggestions. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
