The black/yellow wire is the ignition kill wire that leads to the powerpack. It is to be connected to the raised boss type terminal of the key switch that is labeled "M"

Re: 1974 johnson

Not being connected wioll not affect the spark. It will simply prevent the engine from being shut down via the ignition switch.
