and now the other part of that question... for most key switches that
have "Off" "Left" "Right" "Both" "Start" positions.. what happens when
you go to the "Start" position.?.

Assuming just one magneto with an impulse coupling, the other magneto is
shorted and the starter is engaged (by electrical relay, generally...I'm
not aware of any airplane starter that runs the current straight through
the mag switch).

Note also that this is true only of systems that use an impulse coupling
for starting.

Of course, you could have just posted that information, rather than
turning into a pop-quiz.
