I read another recent post concerning the foot starter which showed that there is some adjustment. Also there was information about placing a bottle cap on the switch button. That worked. I was barely able to extend the rod adjustment to get the starter switch to engage. It is working without the cap.

My question now is what is wearing down to require this? The linkage is fine and I replaced the starter switch thinking it was worn.. The floorboard is fine. I don't see any visible cause. I am wondering if.this may reoccur. I'll keep a cap of some type in the glove compartment.

The other post on the foot starter helped.
