I need to know which wires go where on this switch, the letters on the back on the switch are M,S,A,M,B. It has 7 wires that are going the this switch. I appreciate any help in this project. Thanks.

Without knowing the model number this should get you close. The two M terminals are for the kill circuit never apply battery pos to the kill wire black/yellow, on M goes to ground and the other goes to the kill wire. Purple is key on hot or A terminal, batter pos goes to the B terminal and the start is S. If your old switch was push to choke you need another switch that would be the purple/white wire. Push to choke switch has 6 terminals. Do not connect the battery until you have the switch wired correct. A split second shorting the kill wire to battery pos and you will need a new powerpack.

Thanks the model number is - 115etl76d. The switch has d6 screws for terminals but the last one doesn't have a letter in front of it, will you inbox me your email so I can send you a picture of it?

The black/yellow goes to the raised M terminal. Plain black goes to other M terminal.

The 6 terminals on the back of the ignition switch are always lettered:

M, S, A, M, B, and C

M - "Raised" ===== Black/Yellow
S - Starter ====== White
A - Accessory ==== Purple
B - Battery voltage = Red (Usually)
M - "Regular" ==== Black (Ground)
C - Choke ====== Purple/White
