The 83' Celebrity I bought did not have an ignition switch. I have the wiring diagram for the boat and engine, but I am not sure where one of the three wires is going. It looks like it is going to the Carb. like it's for an electric choke, but I don't know exactly how to wire the switch or which switch to buy. It has three wires, yellow purple and orange. The engine is a 470 Mercruiser. I guess what I really need to know is, which switch to buy so the choke, if it is the choke, will operate properly? Do I need a push to choke switch or just a three position switch.

This is my first experience at restoring a boat so it may be a simple question for some folks, but I like to have input from people with experience.

Thanks for the help
