It doesn't allow me to start it in neutral. I've had the security issue before. It's not that this time. Yes, they turns much much further than normal. I tapped that starter on top. Is there a certain spot that is better to tap it?

I would think it would be the ignition switch if you feel the obvious problem

Is that something I can fix somewhat easily myself?

Gotcha. Yeah, that guy was definitely trying to pull a fast one.

Well if the NSS completely fails it won't start in Neutral either
