Can't pull the key.
 
Stopped the H1 after lunch today and the key won't shut off all the way and the key won't come out. I can remove the whole cylinder and then pull the key but the ignition mechanism won't turn back all the way. Any suggestions?

Try spraying some WD40 using extension tube or a straw so it gets into right spot. Then jiggle it around until it lets go. After you get key out rotary wirebrush it and file down all external edges.Maybe put a pair of visegrips on it to increase pull but make sure you only pull straight out then to keep from breaking key. good luck the rebel.:crying:

If I pull the cylinder the key comes right out. Trouble is the whole switch will not turn back to the off position.
