I have a Murray 17hp twin 46 in riding mower with the model number under the seat no longer visible. It has a B&G Model 42A707 Type 1653-01 engine. I am trying to find the right ignition switch and have come so close but with no luck. So far this is the closest one I have found (screenshot below), but the switch that came off the mower has two S's rather than two B's. My red chicken scratch 'S' shows the position rather than the illustrated 'B'. Everything else is the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay I found a wiring diagram that should match yours.

Switch appears a 4 position Indak C464A. Unfortunately Indak doesn't present a rear of the switch to work from. But it appears Indak label the switch a couple different way even the switch was same.

I also found this about the Stens switch so it appears to be the correct switch but you need to do the make/break tests before installation.

And here is a list of crosses. And I have the B1AC377 and it matches the make/brake on the schematic.
