Ok so this is the issue I am having. My neighbor has a Johnson 25E78C motor, we are trying to connect the wiring to the ignition switch and we are having some issues. The motor did not come with an ignition switch so my buddy bought one from the local boat dealer, it is a Mercury switch, Quicksilver 87-88107A 5. It has 6 wires coming out of it. Yellow/Red stripe, Yellow/Black stripe, Black/Yellow stripe, Red, Black(with two black wires coming out of it), and a purple wire. My question is can I use this ignition switch to start the Johnson Motor? I have a good sense of mechanical know how as I am a Mechanical Engineer. I just don't know how to wire this up. What wires do I need to use and where on the motor will they go. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. He also stated that the motor is not electric choke. It is a remote motor. Thanks again in advance for any help.
