The correct way to start is to depress the clutch pedal fully BEFORE turning the ignition switch to start. This way, the contacts are engaged before the voltage is applied.
I would suggest you bypass the clutch safety switch, only as a test to verify the switch.

Thanks Jerry- I have a 91 so do you recommend the same start procedure?
