Barney,
Raised position is based on unit sitting on the table. But yes...to
the rest position is what I mean. Teh piston rotates the t-bar back to the
open contacts position...at least that's what it should do. This one, will
rotate to the point where the left contact is closed when the piston is in the
rest position.
Does the nylon piece slide on and off the octagonal shaft? If
so, maybe I could take it off and reposition it?
Thanks!!
Dan

Dan,
Not sure
what "raised position" means, as the piston moves from front to back in a
horizontal direction when switch is monted in the dash. In any case, the
piston is only for time delay and has no electrical contacts. The electrical
contacts are all in the front, immediately inside the front cover. Yes, both
contacts should be open with the switch is at rest. Properly set the time
delay should be about 20 seconds. Switch contacts should stay closed during
that time. It is return motion of the piston that pushes the switch back to
rest position (off) as it times out.
As to that odd second switch, photos
please.

from the switch Barney shows on his website
(http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/tssw_2.htm ). The quality is VERY good but
unfortunately cannot be used with the other switch.
