Adam, I purchased a switch from OEM, and it is like the original. Only problem was that the threads were stripped from the manufacturer, so I ended up buying a used one at a tractor show and swap meet for $20.00. There's not much that can go wrong with these switches except to break a terminal off or as in your case it becomes stiff. I wouldnt give up on yours if you can remove it and get some RPM on the shaft, it should loosen up. A $5.00 toggle will work, but if I were to compromise the original, I'd go further and install a key switch. They'll all work, its just what suits you best. You didn't mention whether you have a magneto or a distributor. The switches are different. The mag switch is a single pole switch that when in the off position, creates a ground from mag to frame, whereas the distributor switch is a bi-pole switch and breaks contact when in the off position. Opposite process to achieve same result.
