Here are the switch designations and what they are: (this has also been covered before and should have showed up in a "search of the forum").

B = battery + (probably red wire from the engine harness)
S = Solenoid (from the S or start terminal on the starter solenoid). Check the solenoid for wire color.
C = Choke/Primer (activates the choke or primer system when the key is pushed in while starting).
A = Accessory - feeds +12 volts to the gauges when the key is on.
M (two of them) = Magneto - yellow wires that are shorted together to kill the engine when the key is turned to OFF.
