ignition switch 76 johnson 55hp

[caplockbob]

i'm looking for a little help in how to hook up a key switch in the throttle box on a 76 55hp johnson. Recently bought a used Starcraft 18 footer with the above motor and the key switch is missing. Believe the key is a push in choke type switch. thank you for any help.

red/purple = 12V from battery, terminal "B"
purple = accessory power (gauges, warning horn, etc.), terminal "A"
purple/white = electric choke, terminal "C"
yellow/red = starter solenoid (thru the neutral safety switch), terminal "S"
black/yellow = kill circuit, raised terminal "M" (magneto)
black = ground, other terminal "M" (magneto)
