I ended up taking the motor side neutral switch (yellow/red wire) and just disconnecting that off the solenoid, then wiring up the control box as normal, everything works fine. I can always reconnect if necessary in the future.
Looking more closely at the black vs red plugs on the motor side, the biggest difference is the configuration for the stop circuit. That got moved, pretty much the rest of the stuff (starter, choke, on position) are the same, but the accessory stuff is reconfigured.
It gets even more interesting if you go back a couple of years to ’76 (which, coincidentally, a customer brought one in for me to look at). I wouldn’t even bother trying to update that motor, given all the things going on with that 1st year version.
