2N stuck start switch

This 2N has a flaky gear lever. it can pop out of place I much have got the thing stuck back in wrong so it operated like a latch and held the starter switch closed. I had no idea anything was wrong except the machine didn't have the oomph it had before. luckily I only drove it a short distance before I saw the Ammeter as pinned showing full load + so I shut off the ignition immediately and the engine kept turning over via the starter and I yanked a battery cable off to stop it. Don't think there was any damage except I think the ammeter is fried now.

Do I have to take all those castings and steering apart to get at the shifter and start switch ? how much time should I set aside? in the books it looks like there could be a retaining ring missing from the bottom of the shifter lever and I think someone else said that too.
 
the electrical part of the switch can be accessed at the back of the steering column.

might as well see what you can see there. might be a simple switch failure.. and not the jingle stick and plunger...
 

I pulled the switch back up and reset the stick where it belongs and everything works normally now except don't put any upward pressure on the stick because it'll come out and flop around.
 
I agree with Soundguy. Remove the starter switch on
the front of the steering column and test it.
Contacts may be welded together.
 

nope it's ok, it works normally now. this was something mechanical with the push button and involving the stick
