Default Help with wiring ignition please!!

I need help wiring a new ignition switch in my boat, question is where do the wires go? I have an old evinrude outboard, up bby the ignition switch I have-
green
white
black
red
black w/white stripe
on the back of the new ignition switch I have posts for-
batt.
ign.
accy.
starter

now the green one is battery from the relay or solenoid (old ford looking)
and the white is conected to the "s" post on the solenoid on the "i" post of the solenoid is running up into the motor, the main problem I have is when I hook up the white I can turn the key to the first notch and the starter goes but it should not go until I turn the key all the way over so I am wondering if the other wires should be hooked up somewhere which would stop this and help it work the right way. also where do the other wires go. can anyone help?

you have the wrong switch, you need a switch for a magneto.
