This is a bit like 'Groundhog Day.'
Just when I think I'm getting out of the loop, I'm drawn back in again.
As a temporary measure, I've fitted the new DPST I'd ordered earlier as a precaution. Since it'll doubtless go the same way as the
first after 20 or 30 starts, (if the last one's anything to go by), I'll still need a better (permanent solution). Two sources have
recommended using the original single-throw, single-pole starter button with a relay in tandem for the clutch position indicator/sensor.
I now have it from an impeccable third source, that the above method has been tried and the FI light inexplicably still illuminates, and that the only
'proven' solution is to use two independently-wired buttons simultaneously. A somewhat inelegant if effective solution.
I'll post what happens next. Be prerpared for Punxsutawnwy Phil to appear !

Hello,
Why not use a microswitch behind your clutchpedal ?
I had this with my zx12 and zzr14 engined cars and worked a dream, that way its working like its design to work.
The engine will see the right things then and you can start the engine in every gear because you depress the clutchpedal.
And i think its a much easier solution and neater then 2 switches on the dash
greetings Daniel

Daniel,
Thanks for the input. SJL has previously suggested this route, having gone down it himself with his Busa engined car. He kindly ordered
for me the same microswitch he used and sent it out here to Spain. (It lies unused in my garage). The reason it does so is simply accessibility, (or
lack of it).
My mechanic/spark is 76yrs old and though he's ripped to the bone, the pedal-box of the MK is all but inaccessible to 'normal
people.' I'm clueless, 64yrs old and fat, so forget that approach too. Prosaic reason for not adopting the tried 'n' tested
solution is we can't get at it.
