I'm looking for help in wiring up a kill switch on a 1982 Merc. 4.5 hp outboard. The motor was purchased used and the switch was missing. I know I need to attach 1 of the switch wires to ground but I need to know where to attach the second wire. Can anyone help?

Wow, no replies! I though it was a simple question but Ill rephrase it try to make it simpler... Can anyone tell me where the kill switch wire attaches at the coil end?

The ground wire goes to the 'shifter side' 3/16" stud on the coil.
