Hi Steve...welcome to iboats.<br /><br />The 2 black wires are for stopping the engine. You would connect these to the two "M's" on the ignition switch.<br /><br />The white goes to the starter solenoid.<br /><br />Red is battery power.<br /><br />Purple/white stripe is the choke solenoid lead.<br /><br />Think I got those right.... :)
