Well it sounds like you got it it just needs to be in the right place. There has been many questions such as this wich could have been avoided by taking just 1 minute to draw a plan of what wire goes where. I dont mean to dwell on your problem but even the experts draw a plan, never relly on memory.

Take the cowling of and look at the choke solenoid and starter solenoid, it should have the colours you are wanting.

I'll double check when I get home but I believe purple is choke.

Thanks guys I cut the old ignition off and left a inch or so of the old wires on it. Put everything back the way it was. But I cant read the small letters on the old one. The choke and "on" was fine but no starter. I changed the starter wire to the next one now no choke. Trial and error with electric is risky bussiness.
