my ignition switch is wired as per other posts listed it should be, i still can't kill motor, another post mentions "bad pack" could do it, is there a way to test this? or any other suggestions<br />appreciated.
I cleaned all grounds, traced two black wires and all seem to be running where diagram shows, and attached to proper posts on ignition switch.<br />any other testing I could do??<br />Thanks
is there any other way to make a kill switch till I figure out what's wrong, been having to choke to kill, doesn't always want to die plus it's remote steer??<br />Thanks
Any suggestions on this, I can short out the black wire from one of the coils and kill it manually, Does that mean a bad coil? How to tell which one?<br /><br />thanks
The black wire with the yellow stripe should be from the power pack to the ignition. when the ignition is off it should be connected to the black wire which goes to ground on the engine. In other words, grounding the black w/yellow tracer should kill the engine.<br /><br />BTW, I'm no expert on this. I just happen to have a '77 35 hp and I'm sure it's the same.
