GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
The wiring diagram for my 1976 40hp calls for 6 gauge from solenoid to starter . 6 gauge for battery cables.. 16 gauge for the rest. Should be similar for your motor. EDIT The fused wire from key switch/push button is 12 gauge with a 20 amp fuse.
