I replaced a 5 prong ignition switch on what I think is a 115 Mercury outboard. The switch is labeled A,B,D,E,F. I connected the switch the way I thought it was supposed to be. The tilt trim are working and the motor turns over great but I am not getting spark to the plugs. There is not a choke button on the switch it is separate ant it is also working, I am sure I have a wire crossed somewhere but have no clue what to do next.

Is there a wiring diagram somewhere that will show me what wires go where?
Please help!

Okay, I got her running. She'll fire up, now she just won't idle. Is there an easy way to adjust the idle? I bought the boat in Phoenix and brought it to Albuquerque. Could it be a problem with altitude? Phoenix is about 1,100 to over 5,000ft.
