I spent the rest of the day poking, yanking and swearing at the
cable. Got it moved back, forward, right, left and inside out. I
think the cable is too short to do all three functions. I can get the
thing long enough to start, but it will not shut off, or it will be
long enough to shut off, but not long enough to get the starter to
engage.
Figure I will just let the clutch be the stop pedal.

I found out the cable was off, and proceeded to hook it back to the

It will go to glow, but I am not able to pull it further so that it
engages the start circuit.
That cable is adjustable, in some manner. You need to
adjust it so that it has enough travel to hit the
starter contacts.
What would work better would be a simple manual glow switch, and a
push to start button. Probably pain in the rear to figure out the
way to cut into the circuits.
Yeah, they combined all three systems on one easy-to-use knob.
Until it breaks, then it's a PITA. But if you fix it right
you can go back to your nearly-unstealable stealth ignition
system.
