indeed - suspect #1. if not that, look for hydraulic lock. remove
spark plugs and see if it turns over then.

Take it to a qualified mechanic. You have probably already paid more than it
will cost.

I checked the contacts and in position 3 which is the start position I was
not getting any continuity(bad). So it looks to be a switch. According to
the CDRom manual I have (I hate this one) it shows that changing it to be
straight forward. Since I have never done it do I need any special tools or
expertise to do this or will my backyard mechanic skills be enough?
Thanks

Look this over http://tegger.com/hondafaq/ignition_switch/index.html and
decide whether it looks like it's within your abilities. Yours may be a
little different but the work is pretty similar. One final admonition - when
putting the switch back on the lock, don't overtighten the screws. Use some
blue LokTite and gentle tightening to avoid breaking the plastic. Don't ask
me how I know

Screw the load test, can you jump it?
