1973 Evinrude 9.5 stop button kill switch question

[mettyfish]

Old kill switch wiring was falling apart so I ordered a new 50 buck new one. Put it on and the darn thing does not kill the motor. I used the clips it came with also. So I ohmed the switch and it checks fine. Wiring from connectors to up under fly wheel look good. Did not take off fly wheel yet. Whats my next step to check. Thanks, Metty

Got to be the wires going under the flywheel, probably a break in one of the wires, use the continuity setting on your meter to check from one end of the wires to the other.
