I have a 1975 Evinrude 70 hp that I am trying to replace the ignition switch on. I have a 5 terminal switch currently and am replacing it with a 6 terminal ignition switch. The switch has the choke build in but i currently have an external choke switch. I want to wire the switch so I can keep the external choke switch. I was told this is possible but after trying to wire the ignition switch I am not sure it is compatible. I am not sure where the wires go because the colors do not match with what I have found online.
Mine wires are as follows:
TWO PURPLE WIRES (ONE COMES FROM THE ALARM THE OTHER FROM THE CHOKE)
TWO BLACK WIRES (ONE IS THE GROUND FROM INSIDE THE POWER PILOT THE OTHER COMES FROM THE ENGINE)
ONE RED WIRE (I THINK THIS ONE IS FROM THE BATTERY)
ONE BLACK WITH A YELLOW STRIP (NOT SURE WHAT THIS ONE IS)
AND A TAN WIRE (THIS IS THE NEUTRAL SWITCH)
Any help with which wire goes to which terminal would be very much appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
