pulled wire right at flywheel i assume going to stator

[BassFshr]

i was removing carbs for cleaning on 50hp merc the starter slipped and pulled the green wire out of white housing (cant tell if it a plug connection or what) right under neath the flywheel. it looks it happened to previous owner as well as the end of the wire has soldier on it . the white plug connection where the wire was pulled from has a tab thats looks like it holds it into the metal housing. but doesnt seem to move ..can that part be removed and repair the wire connection or..pulled out of the metal housing or is the fly wheel going to have to come off? thanks

A picture would help since all we know is you have a 50 Merc of unknown vintage.

Cant' even begin to make out the wire in the picture. Is the white thing in the picture an actual plug, or simply a grommet?

If it's a plug it may be as simple as bending the little prong on the terminal back out and pushing it back into the back of the plug till it clicks. But I can't tell if its even a terminal end on that wire from the picture.


Just re read your OP, pretty much guarantee the flywheel is going to have to come off.
