So, it looks like I will need to source a replacement switch. If you saw my prior posts on this, the brown "varnish" was presumably installed at the factory as a sealant. As you can see from below, when I tried to loosen the screw, instead of the screw coming out, the cover of the switch did. Although the switch was working, I can't get the screw out, and at this point even if I could, I wonder about the sealing of the switch.
Looks like around $60 from Honda. My question is if I should consider a used switch? I know that accessing the switch with the motor in the frame is problematic. Am I being penny-wise and pound-foolish?
Looks like I need a neutral switch - New or Used?
