Re: help with ignition wiring

purple - A (accessory)
purple/white - C (choke)
yellow/red - S (start)
black - M (magneto)

black/red - unknown
other black - unknown

you are missing:
red/purple - B (battery)
black/yellow - raised M (magneto)
tan - overtemp alarm horn
gray - tachometer sender

You might have to do some troubleshooting with a continuity tester. the red/purple connects to red at the boat wiring harness - the others I believe are the same color.
