I have recently bought a 1650 that needs some TLC, the ignition switch needs to be replaced but when I bought it I was able to start it by bypassing the switch giving power to the starter, however she needed help firing with a shoot of starting fluid.  She ran great and i was able to drive it home.  But every time I want to start it, i need to use a little starting fluid.    
What is the problem, could it be fixed or will i just need to carry starting fluid around.
