    Hi: we were away for a bit and I finally got to the yard today to look at that wiring thing. The wire is actually a pair of light gage conductors that go from a small short cylindrical thing mounted under the starter gear ring and slightly inside the outside edge of it, to the two pronged ‘plug’ that protrudes through the front of the pan and just behind the ‘handle’ where steering cable connector hooks on. The small cylindrical thing is flat on the end that mounts to its bracket and rounded on the opposite end. The whole thing is about one inch long, and maybe .85 “ in dia. Wires enter it through a ‘potted’ (I think) hole in the side at the flat end adjacent to the bracket. It is on the stbd. Side of the engine. Hope the pics show well. As good as I could get today. With no connection beyond this little cylinder, I am thinking it is not a kill switch connection but…. any guesses anyone? Oh, I downloaded the red book and can’t find a reference to this thing either.
