Default Turn key nothing happens

I got the 302 out this spring. Went to crank the engines, and turned the keys and try to start and nothing. Try again and after about 3 or 4 times of trying the key, it finally starts to crank and starts. Just started and both engines are doing it. There is no clicking noises like a starter or relay. Any ideas?

Check your kill switch?

My kill switches still allow the motors to crank, just not fire.

Dont worry, Eds tough and can take the abuse. I wouldnt post something like that outside of the Baja section, everyone else is too sensitive! Just ask Jason Smith!

Check for corrosion on the ground of the block. Could be some corrosion in the switches as well.
