I just purchased 1986 28hp. The ignition switch was shot. I have a new ignition switch. I got the repair manual, and the diagrams are greek to me.Does anyone know what color wire goes to which letter? Thanks for any kind of help

If you go to the top of the page and do a search for ignition switch diagrams there are several threads that show it

Re: evinrude ignition wiring question

You didn't pay attention when you took them off the old switch? Anyway, here goes:

"B" = large red +12 volt cable.
"C" = choke/primer
"S" = Start solenoid
"A" = accessory
"M" = magneto (there are two of them.)

Wire colors are on the diagram
