Hi everyone! I need help to replace/solve the choke on a new control box. Not long ago the original control box fell apart and having bunch of issues, so got replaced by 96' and up control box and key switch with lanyard, but doesn't have choke. The control box is 5006180/5006181
The ignition key switch is 5005801
How can we solve it in the simplest way?
Thanks

Not that kind of to push to choke key switch. The seller said to toggle the switch, but don't know how.

Post pictures of the stuff you have.----Factory control boxes use an ignition switch that you push in for the choke / primer function

The 5005801 is to be pushed in for the choke / electric primer function.---You just need to hook it up the correct way I think.----Those older control boxes are very good and rarely break / fall apart

The handle fell apart and some inner plastic part. It's a headache to take it apart and replace them all the time.
Yeah,I'm not an electrician, but tried to go after the colors of the wires.
Thank you very much your time and knowledge to helping me out, very appreciate it.
I had to buy a new key set what I sent to you on eBay, because what came with the control had no key to it, and I hooked up the wires how it was on the switch in the control. I hope, I'm not screwed it up.

Did you buy an actual OMC box or chinese knockoff? Do you have the adaptor to go to the red plug? your # comes up as a much newer box
