Greetings everyone. I just picked up a 16 foot Lund with a 1986 40 hp Evinrude. We took it out today and while trying to start the motor and holding the choke button down and it began smoking. I’m having trouble finding a replacement harness online. Should I just try to repair this or does anyone have a lead? The rest of the engine and wiring looks well-maintained and the motor ran well once it fired up. Thank you!

Is that all back at the motor? Hard to tell from picture.

If so are the wires ok at the control box? You have a primer not a choke so you obviously have a short somewhere.

I see replacement wires online but pricey. Also, need to know which wiring assembly.

Post model number of outboard.

Part number 36. You might also need 38 and 34 unless you can save the old one.
