I have a '92 28hp Johnson J28ESLENE, which has electric start. Also have a unknown year OMC side mount control box with the typical pull-out kill switch. Key slot went bad, so I bought a new switch made by Sierra.
Wiring for old switch: B-RED;M-BLACK;A-Dbl Purple;C-Purple/white stripe;S-Yellow/red stripe;M-Black-yellow stripe. The new switch has the same lettering except there is NOT a "A" terminal. Instead it has a "I" terminal. I wired everything up the same, except I put the dbl purple (A) onto the new I(gnition) terminal.
The installation directions state not to be used with a emergency cut-off switch which mechanically rotates the switch to off.
Did I get the wrong switch. Does anyone know the part # for the OMC part?
Thanks in advance for yur advice.
