I see no markings on engine block nor did I see anything in Clymer manual.<br />1. Where is number 1 cylinder on this engine? Please state which side and top or bottom of engine.<br />2. I want to wire up an ignition switch to the red connector. It has 8 pins. What would the connections from the switch to the connector be? Will this arrangement permit me to stop the motor with the key?<br />Thanks in advance for the help<br />Rob

Hey Rob. Looking at the back of the engine.....<br /><br />#1 cylinder will be the top starboard (right) cylinder. Underneath #1 will be #3 & #5 respectivly.<br /><br />#2 cylinder will be the top port (left) cylinder with #4 & #6 under it.<br /><br />The best thing to do is hop over to the local library and get a Clymers or Seloc manual that covers your year engine. Both have wiring diagrams in the back. If you follow the diagram, yes, you can start and stop the engine.<br /><br />Are you needing to replace the ignition switch on the dash or in the controls? Most OEM ignition switch's come with a wiring diagram.<br /><br />Why do you need to replace it?

OBJ,<br />thanks for identifying the cylinder numbering for me .I could not find it anywhere in the clymer manual.<br />I bought the engine without controls or wiring harness from the red connector to the boat side.<br />I want to be able to start it on a stand to check it out before hanging it on a boat. I bought an ignition switch to wire temporarily to the red connector. The switch did come with a wiring diagram but I did not think it was that great.
