Ariens 926104 Snowblower key switch replacement & wiring diagram

I'm trying to troubleshoot a series of issues on the key switch on this snowblower.   I started working on this unit for my church and don't have a lot of prior history on it.
 
The key switch was working only occasionally it terms of triggering the starter motor.  The motor would start fine on the manual pull rope provided the key was in the "on" position, and the key could also be used to shut the motor off.   I used a Powerprobe to trigger the starter solenoid and was consistently able to get the starter to work, so I thought the key switch had gone bad.  I ordered and installed a new key switch from Jack's (part #53123700).   The starter still does not trigger off the key, and now manual start only works with the key in the "off" position.  Additionally, moving the key  to "on" while the motor is running actually turns it off, and if I turn the key further to "start" it'll keep running.  It certainly appears that something is connected incorrectly.   I didn't think there was more than one way to put the wiring connector on the switch, but as I type this I'm wondering if I put it together wrong.   It would help me a lot if someone could post a wiring diagram of the switch and starter so I can be more targeted in my troubleshooting.
 
Thanks much for the help.

    You have the wrong switch. Although it looks the same it is not internal the same. different contacts are made as you switch positions. The switch 53123700 is for an Ariens 931022 riding mower among others.
     
    The correct switch part number is 52709300 (027439600).
     
    As for the switch continuity and electrical diagrams both are available thru Jack's parts look-up for Ariens 926104.

    Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply.   If I had bothered to look, I would've noticed that the metal tabs on the key switch are arranged differently even though the wiring harness fits both.  I'll be ordering the correct switch.  I also appreciate the reference to the wiring diagrams - very helpful.
