Hi all,
I have an old H1011s. While working on starting issue, I inadvertently pulled the wires off the key switch. Not sure how to plug them back in.

This is a 6 post key switch. 5 posts are stamped as follows: L, G, B, S, M and one that doesn't have a designation.

The wires are the following colors:
2 white wires
1 black wire
1 black with a green stripe
1 black with a red stripe
1 black with a light blue stripe

Hoping someone can help me match the wires to the switch.

Thanks

L=lights
G= ground
B=battery
S=solenoid
M=magneto

Never pull all wires off of something without labeling them first.

I'm tracing what I think is an intermittent electrical problem. With the H1011, you cant really get to the wiring without taking the whole plastic body off. I simply forgot to release the key switch from the body so, when I pulled it the wires were pulled off the switch. Duh!

From what I can find on the H1011 the switch was suppose to have a connector housing and if the wires pulled out of it then they were you problem to start with.
