59 Model 31, the ignition switch on the headlamp has 3 positions. I think one is Off, the other is Run, but what is the middle position supposed to do?
Also the horn button has a small lever at it's base, what does it do?
Thanks

Not sure about the ignition switch. The lever on the horn switch is the headlight dipper.

It is probably an emergency start position. That's what it is on my '61 Matchless G3.

More of my testing reveals that left is ign, center is off, and right runs, but very raggedly. What could cause that?
What does "emergency start" mean?
Thanks
