Yes, mine does that same thing, it won't start while it cranks mid sweep though.
I've just never bothered to do any troubleshooting on it to save that problem. My guess is that a contact in the ignition switch is shorting out when is shouldn't.

I can’t leave it like this, Lockwood would run over someone and I’d feel bad.

I fully expect it to become a problem one day, whether it's just not starting somewhere off of the beaten path or burning down my rig, sooner or later it'll bite me right square in the ass.
Hello Nolen ,
i watched and examined in detail your TECH. based Video , 3 times in a row ,
and without a shadow of a doubt , that is the electrical portion of the ignition
switch has failed internally , they are much like your old ROTATORY head lights
switch , that i now keep preserved for you in a 100% Inert atmosphere
MINI - Chamber they now offer on AMAZON........
this can be some what dangerous if your driving at slower speeds say on a bumpy windy road and your starter suddenly engages , well lets just say the
2F wins every time .........
i have Personally NEVER seen a CB40M or CB40F Live in action , on video or in person , so it should make for some good phun , after you see it happen for the first time too ............
anyway , let me know how i can help with your ignition switch issues , i will
as always in any way i can
kindly matt

also , it appeared your ignition key will simply Pull out at any of the positions other then Off where it should of course ...........?
this bad too ,
sometimes Cutting a New OEM TOYOTA Key By the code on my SST machine
solves that problem , other times the lock cylinder is so far gone and smoked
only a New OEM replacement will solve that issue properly .......
I really like your use of a TECH based You TUBE Video , it saved a Thousand words of key punch text type , all in under 1 Metric Minute
i wish more members followed suit , MUD would be a Killer Kool better place
I have applied this same philosophy in the general classifieds , any time i offer
a Working Factory TOYOTA Radio , and will indeed , also make a Real Time
Live one , when i list a Working and totally Functional CB40M , i have restored
in the coming week , I plan to Raise a Trucker / Truck driver Live and Get my 420
from him ...........
i have erected a nice CB antenna areal on side of my shop , where my FM/AM test Antenna also is mounted , and the Coax cables feed through my office wall to my working desk top

Holy s***.
Thats funny. I’ll order the part from you. Thanks for the COLorFul yet totally insane response.
insane nothing !
the Video is really a awesome Example of a better modern year 2020 way to
describe a issue or symptom one has that needs a 2nd or 3rd opinion on ....!
Good Show ....
fyi:
if your order or need the ignition lock cylinder itself also , remember to identify
weather you have a locking or non-locking steering column , i can also re-key it
to match your side doors and fuel door too if need be .......
i think this is the Link to ALL my you tube shop Videos i have made regarding
bench testing LIVE Vintage toyota parts ............
this should be #1 of 13 total , and they play in cronilogical order too i think ,
so you will see as i learn and understand YouTube , they get a bit better each
Rodeo ..........

Easy killer. Moderators are allowed to laugh.
They do have to give back a weeks pay if they pee their pants though.

I have no idea if this is high brow comedy or misunderstandings.
But I am sure enjoying it.

More goodies arrived today while I was out
If you have not used @SMG hood and door pins, you must love rattles. I even got a set for the Ambulance doors.
Final Box-O-Beno arrived. Second motor mount and rears. Antennae and hoses.
@cruiseroutfit FTW as always for steering ends.
One other BIG item landed but I’ll wait for that reveal later.....
