1996 Evinrude controll wiring

[Bart in Alaska]

I purchased a 115/80 jet with OMC controls and 8 pin tach and hour meter. Someone else posted a pic of the exact wiring problem I have. ^ wires coming from control, 2 black, 2 purple and grey(capped), and white (capped). I assume one each black and purple go to hour meter.....Where do other black and purple go, to light on tach, or do I need to supply Pos and Neg to them?

Welcome aboard Bart in Alaska.

Just about all wiring color codes are found within the forum.

purple is accessory/ignition positive and black would be ground. Tachometer and hour meter would both want their own power. The Tach light would also want a + connection, however not an additional ground.
