Circuit breaker / 10 pin connector question

[Adam_c]

If I jiggle my 10 pin connector the engine stalls,

Obviously an issue in there, but would that cause my circuit break to "pop" thus not being able to start the boat? And would pushing the button reset it?

When it stalls when warm, It turns over but won't start, would that button make it start or could I have 2 issues the 10 pin connector and a possible bad coil!?

I just don't want to replace the coil if it could be this circuit breaker button.

Also how do I go about fixing the pin connector will the wire pull out from the pin so I can check it? Or do I cut the connector open?

Thanks in advance

If I jiggle my 10 pin connector the engine stalls,

Ayuh,..... Pull it apart, Inspect the pins, 'n sockets, Test each pin, 'n socket,.....

The pins might be split, 'n expandable, the sockets might be squeezable to tighten the connection,.....

No the wires shouldn't come out, it's a cast plastic unit,....

Yer gonna need a meter, 'n/ or a test light to diagnose the issue,......

Bondo Thanks, I feel like a new connector is needed, where all the wires meet into the base it is a loose connection there which leads me to believe its inside the plug somewhere.

it dose have the hose clamp on it to JUST SNUG

No hose clamp, but I could try that also. Good suggestion. Although I feel like I have more of a corrosion issue inside.

Anyone know how the circuit break works on this boat? Could the harness trip it and be my cause for non starting?

**update** it wasn't the 10 pin connector, sigh I did fix it by spreading the pins open a bit but still staling... Going to change the coil next, then rebuild the carb if that doesn't do it.

What ever you do, verify the part(s) you are changing are indeed bad. Otherwise you will be replacing parts without knowing they really need replaced. And that gets costly and frustrating since you still have the problem after replacing the part. In other words, just don't throw parts at it in hopes to fix it. Find the bad part! JMHO
