First you need to lose the homemade clip-on choke and install correct keeper o-ring. The reason choke won't work is wire tie on cable below solenoid has flaps locked open.
That why you need to post pictures. The unit with nut refers to spanner nut that holds driveshaft and bearing in place. Also there is not a model called Torpedo, that just refers to shape.
The kill tether that attaches to the switch, is a mechanical kill. When installed and engine running, if pulled it turns key to off. Engine will start and run and kill if not installed. Sounds like switch is working as designed.
That motor has been apart before...#2 has a Siezco piston, #4 looks to have a .030 piston(P3 casting) and had the new style head gaskets instead of original brown gasket. IMO I would just find a running motor and swap and use this one for parts.
