Default ignition switch question

Hi All,
I have a starting problem on my 4x4 - Think it's the ignition switch but just want to check. I have 12.4 and 12.5 volts on the yellow and red wires at the end of the switch on the steering wheel. However, on turning to activate - I'm only seeing between 9.5 and 10 volts on the blue/black wire. These are all soldered joints on the back of the switch. This mirrors what is going to the starter motor. I don't know, but is that too low for the starter motor to kick in. It does kick in sometimes but probably only 1 in 10 turns. Do I get a new switch or is there something that can be done with the existing one?

Cheers
