This black wire with the yellow stripe, which I believe has something to do with the kill switch, just stops. I can’t imagine it’s like this from the factory, where is it supposed to go? And could it have anything to do with S.L.O.W. mode? Thanks. John.

Black/yellow is the stop/shift switch circuit.

Guessing your switch shift isn’t functional

I did some more research, and yes eventually goes to the helm and a plug on the port side. I’ll check tomorrow to see if it’s still attached to the key switch. The motor starts fine, idles smoothly and runs good up until 2500 rpm. Above 2500, it runs like its up against a rev limiter. I think it might be going into SLOW mode, but I can’t be sure. The previous owner disconnected some things , and I’m trying to figure this out.

Your motor (J200TXEUA) is a '97. Get a '97 oem service manual to identify options and repair instructions. Blue cover -- very well done, and may be able to find a used one in good shape (eBay?).

Thank you oldboat1. I have a Seloc manual that is pretty good but I will get an OEM one as well.

SLOW is triggered by temp switches. Tan leads, one port and one starboard.

if the leads are intact, you need to test temp switch operation.

If that tests normal, loosen power pack and remove coil orange and orange/black leads from terminal strip. Each lead to ground should read high.

Connect meter between the two leads. If meter reads 96 ohms, plus or minus 10 ohm, replace power pack. If they vary, replace stator
