Ok, so maybe I didn't need to have them lube the Zed's ignition switch. Maybe I coulda done that. But, I did do that. I used various types of oil to try and get the switch to move in the right direction, so I could get my key out, but nothing I did worked. Of course, the mechanic got it to work for him. He was just a tad more stubborn than I am, I guess.
But, thanks SuperTune for seeing me as late as it was and taking care of me on the spot. I do appreciate the help...oh and the chain tightening and lubing, too.
My next stop will more than likely be Steels for a used ignition switch.
And thanks, Salsa for the recommendation.
