I believe that vintage did not have a lanyard switch.

The switch is likely a spring loaded push button aka a momentary switch.

It grounds the primary wire for the coil.

A failure here is unlikely but not impossible.

To test this you can remove the wires from the back of the switch and keep them separate from each other and the metal chassis.

That will exclude the switch.
There is not a lanyard kill switch. There is a button to push to stop the engine. The most recent registration sticker on the boat will indicate when the motor last ran - my guess is 2017 but I’m not positive. I have no idea when the plugs were last changed; my guess is a long time ago.
