Re: 80's force 85hp ignition switch?

The blue and white wires are the stop circuit. Just get a normally open single pole single throw switch and put blue on one terminal and white on the other. When you toggle the switch to closed (connecting the blue and white., the engine will stop. Just make certain that inside the engine, on the terminal board, white is connected to the white terminal and blue is either jumpered to ground with a flat jumper bar, or connected to the ground terminal.
