5000TQ Avant Starting Problems

[Stephen Sherman]

One other thought. ~10 years ago on another 5000TQ Avant we had, I 
vaguely recall a repair to the ignition switch that I did. IIRC there is 
a shaft that connects the ignition lock tumbler to the electrical 
switch, and over time that shaft twists some.  The repair was to twist 
the shaft back a bit to get it closer to its original alignment.

This ring any bells with anyone? I no longer recall the symptoms this 
had, but if it causes the electrical switch to not rotate far enough 
into the start position, seems like it may be related...
