Those wires are probably connected to the stop button on the engine now. You would have to cut the leads off the stop button, then connect them to the M terminals on the key switch. Why is it that you want to do this? As a theft deterrent? Seems like it would be easier to press the stop button then fumble with the key mounted on the side of the pan to shut the engine off.
The only reason I ask is because I hate to see you mess up the wiring on this nice old 25hp needlessly.
When you say "kill switch", are you referring to a safety lanyard stop switch that can be clipped to your belt? If so, I’m sure you can find a conventional stop switch with that feature and install it in the current stop button hole. Again, try not to mess up the original wiring. You can buy the actual terminals/plastic clips so the new switch could be wired nicely to the mag plate wiring.
