Basic wiring help

Rewiring my Alsport utility by this print.

Only problem is they don't detail the igntion switch very well. Terminals on my switch are B, G, L, S, M

I'm assuming the "L" term on my switch takes the place of the "A" term on the print for the lights.
"B" is + battery.
"S" activates the start solenoid.
"M" is the green lead to the motor.
The only one left is the "G" term on my switch (gold tinted term). Is that the "R" term shown on the print?

Not sure if it's related, but the switch looks like what you describe, and in this case would be the other side of the mag. connector.

There is a whole lot on that print that I don't have. I've just got a basic HM100 Tecumseh 10 hp eletric start.

Understood, but it looks like you have the same ignition switch, and it looks like it's routed the same way as yours.

What is different is that on the SL schematic (for a 2cyl 2stroke) they short both sets of points together to kill the engine. If you follow the schematic, one set of points is connected to the "M" term and the other to the "G". These are connected when the switch is off disabling the engine. In your case, running the engine to "M" and connecting the "G" to ground, should work.

And if you notice on the SL diagram, when the engine is running, activating the "Kill Switch" only kills one set of points. These engines will usually die but could continue to run on one cylinder.
