"Help Needed" Yamaha 40 Stop Button Wiring

[darrenbarker]

I've just bought an Yamaha 40fm (Serial No 6E9 L300100) 2 cylinder manual start outboard which needs a stop button wiring in. I'm told that the black wire on the stop button goes to earth and the white connects to a corresponding white wire on the engine coming off the CDI. The trouble is there is no corresponding white on the engine!<br />There are however other unconnected wires and I have bracketed what I think they are for, can anybody tell me otherwise?<br /><br />Red with Inline Fuse (Battery Charging)<br />Brown (Solenoid Switch)<br />Blue (Choke)<br /><br />I'd be grateful for any help and also rough age based on serial number!
