Won't shut off with key switch

[jerryjerry05]

1988/110 Evinrude
Had just replaced a 88hp with the 110.
It had been setting for a couple of years.
The owner started it up (good comp and spark)and said lets switch to the 110
After a few problems the change was done.
Then he starts it.Ran like crap.
Realized a jet was dirty.
Then after cleaning carbs and putting all the parts back on it starts this.
Won't shut off with switch????
Can be choked off .

Any ideas???Thanks,Jerry

(Ignition Kill Circuit)
(J. Reeves)

A Black wire (ground) should lead from the powerhead to the powerpack. There will also be a Black/Yellow wire leading from the powerpack to a raised "M" terminal of the ignition switch. To complete the circuit, there will be a Black wire from the other "M" terminal of the ignition switch to ground.

When the key is in the OFF position = The two "M" terminals are connected,. effectively shorting/killing the ignition.

When the key in ON position = The two "M" terminals are not connected and the ignition is engaged.
