Hi all,

I need a new ignition switch for my 68 Johnson 55hp (TRL-10R). I have decided not to replace the Thermo switch (didn't have one) and wire the choke solenoid direct for manual control. The original set up had a choke switch as a part of the Instrument assembly.

My question is: Are there pros and cons I should be considering in determining going with a push to choke ignition switch or a standard ignition switch with a separate choke switch?

Thanks,

Your choice, doesn't really matter. But the separate choke type would be a direct replacement with no wiring modification. Personally, I prefer the separate choke, just easier to use in my opinion.
