Turning Ignition has no Response

That’s been done. Still not working right.

Earlier when I disconnected the connector at the Voltage Regulator & measured the voltage on the wire that connects to the ‘I’ terminal on the voltage regulator, With the key off, 0 volts. With the key ON, 12+ volts. With the key in the start position, it drops down to almost 0 volts. Thinking maybe either ignition switch or maybe the connector/wiring that connects to the ignition switch may need some work.

I think you’re on the right track.

Update & resolution.
So after convincing myself that the ignition switch was bad, it was changed for a new one. Still no difference. So I started checking more connections. There is a 3-wire connector that runs to the temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge & the coil. Had the coil & oil pressure wires switched. Tried again. No luck. So I read about jumping the coil from the battery + to the coil +. Started right up. Turns out I had a bad coil. Swapped the coil for a new one & now it starts right up. Even got the shift linkage adjusted so that I don’t have to jumper the neutral safety switch anymore. So in the end, turns out it was mostly me being in a hurry & not checking my work. Live & Learn.
