Evinrude Johnson electric start early sixties ignition help..

[26bucker]

Hello everyone..
was wondering if anyone has an "ignition wire diagram" for an early sixties model. the silver box mounted to the rear?stern area type. Its hooked up to a 63 Johnson Super Seahorse 75. the old ignition has the key broke off in it and Im replacing it with a newer 4 post model compared to the old 6 terminal...I've seen a few online but they are either too small and unreadable or there are just way too many to identify. any help before i just go wire to wire with a volt meter would be great.....
thanks
Steve

Yes, you need to determine whether you have a manual shift motor, or Electramatic shift. They are totally different. You may have the wrong switch. Here is the manual shift model

Willy, That is a very interesting service manual. I had one similar to it for my Fat-Fifties, however, the manual you provided calls for a 16::1 fuel mix for the 1959 motors and a 24::1 mix for the 1960 motors. My service manual called for and I used 24::1 mix for my my '58 and '59 Fat-Fiftys. In additon, my '58 appeared to have features of the intake manifold from the 1960+ motors, rather that what is called out for the '59. Were their serial group differences on motors of that vintage? Maybe that was an early version of a Seloc, with it's errors and inaccuracies?
