    White goes to start terminal on ign switch to solenoid
    (2)Black goes to (2) Magneto terminals on ignition switch
    Gray is tachometer ground
    Purple w/ white stripe goes to choke switch
    Brownish red?? Could it be tan? goes to overheat light or horn.
    Also need a purple jumper from ign Acc terminal to overheat light and choke switch.
