    Got it running. The short was in the CDI box. Got a new one and it seems to be running great!

    1968 55hp TR-10R troubleshooting Help

    Thank you for the idea! I’m going to start with that tomorrow. Could the starter solenoid somehow cause this?

    1968 55hp TR-10R troubleshooting Help

    Still trying to get the 1968 55hp TR-10R to start. So far I have cleaned and set the points(points were corroded enough to not get a signal). They test fine with the Ohm meter now, even got the motor to fire a few times but would not run. The stator looks good I think but I haven't tested it...

    Is 120 psi ok on this motor? I pulled all plugs when testing but did not have the throttle open.

    Is this ignition system 12v? Owners manual states some models covered are 6v and some 12v but I can’t seem to find more information.

    Thanks for the reply! Nope I don't care if the ammeter works or not. Just want to get this thing cranking over so I can check compression and see if its worth messing with further. Should I just wire the amplifier like the wiring diagram shows? I wasn't sure if there was a good reason why...

    1968 Johnson Tr-10r 55hp wiring help

    Need some wiring advice on a 1968 Johhson TR-10R 55HP. I just replaced the engine side wiring harness. The previous owners had the rectifier wired different from what the wiring diagram shows. See attached pictures. The red wire coming from the ampere gauge is connected to the center wire of the...
