ignition problem

["Earl Barfield" <elern@comcast.net>]

BlankThe TR6 won't start.................
I'm thinking it's the ignition switch, turning the key to the start position
the engine turns over but will not start.  I've jumpered  to the positive
terminal of the battery and the positive side of the coil and it starts right
up. I've double checked all the ignition switch connections and cleaned the
terminals.
Is there a easy way to check if the ignition switch is functioning correctly?

Thanks for all the help.
