Where can i find a wiring scematic for a 1969-76 40hp evinrude, without ordering a book, and the water pump is not spitting water out of the pee hole and i took the thermostat out, (it was bent and not working properly) and it still doesn't. I found water in the lower unit and no clue where it came from, it has a new water pump and was wondering that when the prior owner installed the head gasket that if it was the wrong size it would cause it not to spit water.

Try your library, Twista.<br /><br />Even experienced wrenches always use a manual.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

I already tried that and I can't find a manual anywhere that has the wiring and lower unit information. That is why I am on here,to see if anyone else might know how or where I could get one of these manuals that doesn't cost more than the motor did!

In that case I would try eBay, twista.<br /><br />Everything shows up there sooner or later.<br /><br />You do need to know the exact model, though. Post your model number and we can at least help you there.
