Re: inition wiring mixed up need help

See here:

It is very common that the A (or I) terminal also feed switched battery voltage to many other loads, such as gauges or other vessel instrumentation associated with the engine, and an engine hour meter. There may be several other devices connected to the A (or I) terminal of the ignition switch. The aggregate load of these devices must not exceed the current rating of the fuse which protects this circuit branch. The fuse is typically located under the engine cowling at the point where the RED with VIOLET stripe conductor branches from the engine's primary battery wiring, often at the starter solenoid terminal.

yellow/red = S (start)

red/purple = B (battery)

purple/white = C (choke)

purple = A (accessory): one from the overtemp horn, one from the tach, and one (I think) is from the helm.

black/yellow = raised M (magneto), the kill circuit. One from the engine wiring harness, and one from the emergency kill switch.

black = other M (magneto), engine block ground. One from the engine block, one from the tach, one from the emergency kill switch, one (I think) from the helm.
