Please don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the input you’re providing and it’s only adding to my knowledge. You are obviously a man of craft and experience and know a lot about these motors which is why I was explaining things in detail with pictures so you could guide me but our conversation kept...
There is a little red box that says emergency starter rope but that was empty and the rope came this way when I bought it. I didn’t care because the electric start worked great and the motor ran quite well. Also the generator runs well, that messed part at the top is just the thin aluminum...
Thank you, I have this exact same diagram but that cable that is sticking out, it comes directly from the cut-out switch and is just hanging outside the 10 pin connector and is not a part of it as shown in the diagram, that is my confusion. It has a ring terminal so it definitely manually...
I think all electric shift motors of that generation came with these specific starters and generators. Non electric shift motors from the same years came with different starter motors and no generators. :)
Bought the solenoid from a marine store, it is for the specific motor. We can go all day about the work am doing because this is the first ever motor am working on and there will be plenty of mistakes lol, but are you able to tell me where that extra wire might go? 😁
Thank you for the input @racerone So this motor works, just that the starter solenoid had gone kaput & I am adding a new one, it would start if you jumped the starter by directly connecting the battery positive to it & everything stayed on & worked. I have connected the green wire (G in pic 3)...
Hey guys, thank you so much on the responses to my previous question, I was able to do so much work on the outboard! It’s pretty much done except for the wiring. So here is another newbie question, I have managed to find connections for most wires but I forgot where/what this single wire (pic 1)...
Thank you Mariner Supreme! Appreciate the response and your time, I just had some silly questions: I am new to boating and boating terms, I am also new to America so could you please point out to me what the rear cowling and exhaust cover are on this motor? I tried googling them and looking at...
Hey guys, I have a 1967 Johnson 40 hp electric shift outboard. There is no shift today obviously so I can’t fir the life of me figure out how to drop the lower unit. The seloc manual is not helpful & has no info for this motor. I can’t find anything that will unhook the lower unit. I wanna...
