Hello all, I?ve been helping a young friend getting his older 1984/85 (gold stripe) Merc 50 Going again after sitting for some time.
I?ve rebuild carbs, new impeller, lower end oil, replaced choke solenoid, repaired a few broke out lower co areas with new fin silicone and small pop rivets to stop water from entering engine compartment. Completely re and re tiller handle assembly oh yes and I?ve fabbed up a choke plunger that I?m actually quite proud of and now as close as I am to firing this motor for the first time, I have a wiring issue. Every day is getting colder up here in Ontario and my shops not heated and I?d love to get it done and gone.
I?ve looked extensively online for the exact harness for this 4 cylinder and nothing exactly matches. One of the biggest things is I have no wire for the positive post on the Choke Solenoid. Diagrams I?ve seen show a yellow with black tracer and the longest one I have on this engine is running to I think might be a resistor. Serial for this motor is an oddball which is A133684. I?ll have to see if I can post some photos I?ve taken to help give better idea.
Thank you very much.
