Yes it definitely could be the original ignition switch is the culpret.

The original electrical grease is now 40 something years old and dries up like glue keeping any springing action of the internal switch contacts for functioning properly.

You can buy new ones but they aren't cheap.

If you rebuild yours you need to clean out the old grease and lubricate them with longevity in mind.

For one thing for you guys up there in the depth of the Canadian arctic winter, the grease needs to resist those 20 or 30 below winter nights?
