Default Cub 128 Starting Issues

Hello all,
I bought a Cub 128 from the original owner a few years back. It came with several implements and I have used it to mow my yard and work my garden. I've replaced several parts and kept it running well, but I have an issue now that I need some help with.

The tractor just recently stopped starting. Here are the conditions: turning the key, the starter turned the engine over just fine but engine wouldn't run. I replaced the spark plug as I was not getting spark at the plug. No luck. I checked the points and noticed I wasn't getting spark there even after cleaning them. I checked the coil using a meter and got 5 ohms resistance. So good coil. I then checked the positive terminal of the coil with the switch on and I am not getting juice there. Battery is good. Voltage regulator looks good. Wires seem ok. Last thing, I ran a jumper wire from the positive post on the battery to the positive terminal on the coil and then turned the key and she fired right up.

Do I have a bad switch? Just wanted some opinions before I got spending $50 on a switch. Thanks!
