You can start it without ign switch, just unplug wiring harness and work fuel enrichener manually, and jumper solenoid. if you want to use an ign switch, you need one that grounds to kill ign in the off position. Black is ground, Orange (or Black/yellow) is ign kill wire, red is battery, purple is ign accessory, yellow (or yellow/red) is starter solenoid, grey is tach (or maybe enrichener, depending on year)
