I had my ignition key lost on my boat on a sunday. My only choice was a universal ignition switch. I am pretty sure it is wired correctly. I wish I had waited for a key but instead I went ahead and put in a switch. I wired as I have always known. Now the engine will NOT fire.

I have done so much I even held the spark plug in my hand praying it would fire.

I tried bypassing by unhooking and jumping at solenoid and still no fire. Please tell me what i am doing wrong. turns over. also will turn over when i put red/yel , purple, and red together. No fire.....


I wired like this on switch

M- Black
B- Red
M- Black/yellow
I- Purple
S- Yellow/red
C- Yellow/black

Thanks so much for your advice.... Also off switch is not off
