Most outboard ignition switches connect as follows: B---positive battery--usually at start solenoid-normally protected with 20 amp fuse. A---accesories-hot when switch is on C---choke-hot when key is pushed in to choke position S---starter-hot when switch is held over to start position M and M---magneto-one M is connected to ground(black) and the other is connected to kill wire(black/yellow).When switch is off these two are shorted together.
