Sad news about my bus

I just found out today that it has a major oil leak and was ran hot a few times. Buy I'm in luck. There is another bus behind it that runs too but had a problem with cranking. The bus mechanic told me that all I need for it is a toggle switch to crank it by tying it into the starter

Oh no, I hope it works out and it sounds like you have a good grip on solutions.
Best Wishes.

No. It's buses that got auctioned off from my school and a junkyard bought them. Out of 5 buses only 2 runs and they are bus 101 and bus 102

I'd try to get my money back and go somewhere that isn't a junkyard, man.
Just my honest opinion.

Oh, well when you said junkyard, I thought you meant where cars go to die their final death.

I'm gonna switch to bus 101 because its cheaper to fix since something running from the key switch to the starter or coil keeping to from cranking. The bus mechanic told me I can tie a toggle switch in and it will crank
