my 60hp Johnson was running fine at idle when it just stopped, like it was shut off, and wouldn't start back up, it will turn over bot not fire, like the kill switch was on but its not, after a little testing I realized I lost spark. After more and more testing I tried another control box and she started right up and run like it should. My question is...which wire controls the kill switch back at the red plug? can I just bypass it?

Black wire with yellow stripe is the kill wire. If it is shorted to ground anywhere between the power pack and ignition switch, it will not have spark or run.
