Alright I know one of you guys knows what's wrong with my Merc. Firstly, though, I removed it from one of my boats and mounted it on another. Wired in a new ignition switch and now can't get it to fire. The ignition switch has a black wire(ground), a red wire(hot), a yellow with red stripe( found this to be the choke wire) a black with yellow stripe which I believe is the magnito, a yellow with black stripe which I think is an accessory wire and a red with yellow stripe which is the starter wire. The back of the switch is marked A accessory, B for battery, C for choke, S for start and 2 marked M.
Now, I'm not sure if I may have screwed something up when I was going threw the wiring and touching wires to the hot side of the battery to find out which wire was which. I touched the blach with yellow stripe to hot and it got hot so I figured it was some kind of ground and I guess it was a magnito wire.
