I cannot figure out where this purple wire goes for a Force 90 C/model. the only open spot is just above the ground wire's postion on the bar(port side) The side script says it is the 2nd STOP but there seem to be a flange of thin metel that over laps from the one 12v power screw. I have my SELOC manual but When I folowed the wire to the key/ignition swich. That is where I get a little troubled. The switch has the letters at each terminal. they are from the 12 o'clock position clock wise "M"(black wire), 3 o'clock "B"(red/blue stripe), 5 o'clock "M" (black/yellow stripe), 8 o'clock "S" (Purple), 9 o'clock "A" (yellow/red stripe), and one in the center having "C" (yellow/black stripe). The manual has letters I, M, C, S, S, M. How do the letter corespond and what are they for?<br /><br />I think I should put the purple one on the 2nd stop. I just want to make sure so can any one advise me so I don't kill any thing. Myself especily.

Re: push to choke starter switch wiring problem

I am not a force expert here but I believe the purple wire would be for your tach. Does your motor have a tach and if so does it work? With this wire disconnected does your motor run? The wire you are describing is going to the terminal strip on the motor. When you trace it back to the ignition swith is it connected to anything or is it just hanging loose? On chryslers the purple wire is used for a tach and if there is no tach it just hangs loose near the key.

The tan wire is being used for the Tach, According to the scmatics it is tan or purple. I guess I'll just leave it hanging. Thanks
