Hi everyone first post many more to come!
I'm looking to swap out my old switch that was working off n on last year which has now stopped working to a newer modern switch any suggestion? And how to wire it up?
Old switch has 4posts
A - Red
B - Orange
C - White
I - 2 Black 1 to the choke button & a Blue

OTHER wires orange n yellow wires to a neutral safety switch defective how do I by passed this if I need to for now?

wire colours from the harness are
Red - has voltage but low rectifier?
Orange - 0volts - guessing starter solenoid
White - 12+volts - battery?
Blue - same as red low - no clue?
Black - should be ground ?

Can a modern switch be used as the old is NLA
Might be a oem replacement out there but have found anything yet ?
