I've got exactly the same problem with a DF30 I've got in at the minute, somebody has been in to the control box before me to find the problem but although the microswitch casing is broken it turns out that its not the one in the control box that is the issue but the one on the engine, some over enthusiastic tech has liberally sprayed grease over nearly everything under the hood and over the years the grease has baked/dried out and clogged up the switch to the point it stopped working.
It came to me firing on only two out of its three cylinder on idle, its the same bloody grease that has blocked the air jet on the side of the carb.
Its maybe worth a look on the engine switch too.
