Yamaha Rigging Question - two-stroke controls

Ok, finally time to rig the mid 80's Yamaha 90 two-stroke on the SR5.4.

The engine came with Yamaha 704 controls and the little key switch panel shown in picture #2.

Since I need to mount this on the right side of a jockey console, I bought a basically new 703. I believe that I got the correct throttle linkage (push versus pull) and I can alway buy that part if I was wrong.

Question though - I don't have what I believe to a choke switch on the 703 control box. Necessary? Do I need it? Can I add it?

Thanks!

If the choke does not work for you when pressing the key in the blue wire on the back of the ignition switch needs plugged in.
