jee,
I'm sure it can be done, but you will have to do a little leg work to find a replacement.
I've never done it, but I like doing things unconventional, as long as I wind up with something as good as or better quality than original.
By my way of thinking, you need five wire connection to the switch:
1.power (12 volts)
2.ground
3.choke
4.ignition on
5.start
I haven't looked at my ignition switch, lately, but these wire connections come to mind. There may be more on yours. The ignition kill switch comes into play somewhere in here - be sure to get it hooked up also - and don't forget to test it.
Good luck,
Ken K

original 703 or 704? i would hit sailorman,hardcore and grab a switch from them or ebay for about 30 bucks for a single.I have resolved issues the techs havent been able to with my dual 704`s but I would never try to rig my system, another way to create more problems,more $$.
