    There are many different wiring diagrams. We will need to know the model and year, and also the model number if possible.

    This should help. Wire colors are for Mercury but the terminals are the same.

    That is a great diagram only if i had one for a johnson 150 and if there is any type of fuse that could have blown because i am getting nothing

    Engine fuses are on the engine. Look near the starter solenoid.

    Heres another view of the control wiring:

    It does not matter how the connectors are arranged. All of the 6 post ignition switches for BRP/OMC motors are push to choke since 1979. "C" is always choke.

    You folks have been a great help as I restore a 1988 Javelin with Johnson 150 V-6. And I need help again.

    Having to replace the iginition switch with choke.

    The old wiring poles are labeled: M,B,M,A,C,S

    The new switch poles are labeled: M,B,M,I,C,S

    So the question becomes are A and I poles the same?

    Please hurry as I am ready to rewire today.

    Thanks again to all.

    I'd say you're fine.....maybe the new switch calls it "ignition" instead of "accessory"....
