Mine starts without the keys. My ignition key is just a stump.

Every once in a blue moon it locks up like it should but the stum still works.

yep do it all the time, you gotta turn it all the way back untill it locks. just the tiniest amount forward from the lock point and you can start without the key. or atleast myn is that way.

>.> been thinking about a kill switch since you can just get right into it with no prob.
