I PUT the wires on the switch (red black then red)the starter sounded like a bad ground or bendix spring.Did not start. Then I put (black red red)from top to bottom it Started but like a bull but would not shut off Went back to orignal(red black red)it shut off. what did do?

Unless you trace out the wires Lenny, you're not giving us enough info.

Will you be going to the Milford GTG?

Lenny, not enough info. You need to check voltages at those wires both into and out of the switch, with the switch in all three positions.
