1989 70hp Stator missing black/yellow kill wire

[Mike D Cincy]

I purchased a new stator from a local marine dealer and intalled it on the engine. The engine ran great, but would not shut off. I loked closely at the stator where it pluged into the power pack, and noticed that the stator did not have a black/yellow wire at all. There was an empty place on the plug for it. The part number seems to be right, but I wanted to see if this may be common, and I am missing something, or if the stator is suposed to have that wire.<br /><br />Thanks!

Mike.... The "black/yellow" kill circuit wire does not lead from the stator. That wire is part of and leads from the engines wiring harness.<br /><br />Follow the engine's wiring harness from the RED main electrical connector towards the powerpack, you should come across it.

I see the wire from the power pack, and it goes into the plug which was hooked into the stator. Should I look for the wire somewhere else? Maybe the person who put the new stator on, clipped this wire?<br /><br />Thanks

Mike.... Your mind is locked on that stator for some reason. Forget the stator.<br /><br />The black/yellow wire is in the engine wiring harness and it is that black/yellow wire that inserts into whatever to connect with the black/yellow wire of the powerpack.<br /><br />It's very possible that someone cut/clipped that black/yellow wire at the end of the wiring harness but that's where it is. Strip some of the wrapping from the harness and I'm sure you'll spot it.
