It's rod activated. Make sure the rod engages the switch properly (the end goes into a hole in the switch itself. Then make sure it is properly adjusted. The mounting holes in the switch itself are elongated, so the mounting screws are also the adjustment screws. Once you are sure it's adjusted and installed correctly, try it again. If it still won't start, the switch isn't the problem. Check all of the fuses if you haven't already. Check voltage at the ignition switch. If it is getting voltage, check voltage or continuity at the solenoid. If you aren't getting power or continuity there, check the wiring harness plug. It's on the driver's side, it actually plugs into the back of the fusebox and is held in place with a long screw. Remember, you're dealing with a 40 year old car here. Corrosion at this plug is common after 40 years. A good cleaning and repeated reseating of the plug can usually fix the problem. Make SURE you disconnect the battery before messing with the plug! If you have voltage (check the voltage with the wire DISCONNECTED from the starter!) at the small starter wire when the switch is in the start position (or continuity between there and the switch) then the solenoid itself is most likely the problem. Now, obviously I'm assuming that the solenoid is NOT clicking, and the starter is NOT turning. If they are, but it won't fire, check voltage/continuity at the ignition coil. This goes through the firewall wiring harness plug as well. That plug also provides power TO the ignition switch, so if it's not getting voltage, it's probably the plug. This is all a process of elimination. I'm assuming the entire car isn't dead, because that would point to the battery, battery cables, or fusible link. ALL of the electrical power in the car goes from the battery, through the cables, fusible link (except for the starter lead) main harness plug and fusebox. From there it goes through the ignition switch, back through the fusebox and main harness plug. Those are the places to check.

Replace the starter motor
How can you tell if the ignition switch is bad on a 95 Mercury Villager?

Not without picking it over or breaking it. The switch needs to be turned, and the retainer depressed to remove the lock cylinder.
Will the engine fire but not start if clutch switch is bad?
In most cases, the engine will not fire or start if the clutch switch is bad. The key will turn in the ignition but there will be no turn-over or sound from the engine. If the engine turns over but doesn't start, there might be a problem with the fuel supply.
Is there a switch or fuse to allow ignition on the clutch or clutch pedal of a 1990 Isuzu Trooper 2?

What would cause no spark at the spark plugs on a mercury 125 outboard?
The most likely cause would be the stator assembly. By disconnecting the cannon plug for the key switch harness, at the engine, you can isolate the problem to the engine, or the ignition switch / harness assemblies. With the harness disconnected, spin the engine over with a starter button, connected to the solenoid. If the engine now has fire, the problem is in the ignition kill circuit, (ignition switch, emergency kill switch, or harness assembly). If a no fire condition still exists, the problem is in the ignition system, on the engine itself. The stator, and related ignition components can be tested with a volt / ohm meter.
