I had mercontrols that I rewired to one of those key+choke switches with the6 connectors ont the back. I wired it the following way;

Wiring Harness New Switch
Red-12V B-battery
Black-ground M-magnito
Yellow-12V to solenoid directly to neutral interlock switch in control
box than from interlock switch to S-start
White-12V to switch box I-ignition
Salmon-kill wire to switch box M-magnito
Gray-12v to choke solenoid C-choke
Brown-sinal to Tach

I did get the motor to turn over but not start. Now the starter motor will spin when you try to start it but wont engage the fly wheel. Any ideas would be helpful. I am out of money and Salmon are almost here.
