40 hp Johnson (EL model) ignition switch issue

[olenavygoat]

For you long-time enthusiests this should be an easy on. I've chosen not to guess and screw this puppy up.

I've hooked up the new style ignition switch that took me from a 6 terminal to a 4 terminal and a screw hole (tightwads didn't even supply screw!). My issue is that everything works great on the boat except the 3 position switch cranks the engine at the first stop position which is supposed to be just the accessory position. I need to know which wire to move so that the motor will crank at the 3rd/crank position.

Help!

I believe the switch wire (probably white) goes to the "S" terminal, between the "B" and the "M" terminal. This is only a half educated guess (as I did one today) so please wait for others to reply.

Thanks for getting a reply out to me. Yeah, I'd hate to screw it up as everything else is functioning as it should. I don't know if it'd hurt anything or not. Still no other replies though.
