Not familiar with that engine. Could it be the powerpack or distributor?

Really check all the ground connections. All the "kill switch" is is a ground disconnect. Neutral for start is just a completion of the ground circuitry.

Your motor is on a different wiring system than the rest of the boat. Without seeing it, look for any black or yellow wire connections. The neutral would have some sort of connection within the handle where the negative completes itself. Clean up those points. I am not familiar enough to locate or give reference within the motor or key switch, etc.... but black and yellow are the universal color code for negative.
