I recently purchased an old 76' 85HP Johnson 85EL76D and have been going thru it. I had to remove the ignition and take it to the shop to have find a replacement key. It was Key #23. I rewired the switch and am 100% positive the wires are back in their original positions ( I took Pics before I took everything apart so I could ensure it all went back the same way). I hooked the battery up, I verified I have 12V @ the starter, I plugged in the Round Red Plug @ the Engine but... I seem to have NO POWER @ the Switch. When I try to use my Meter at the Plug back on the motor, I get Nada!!! Shjould I get a voltage reading in the plug on the motor if I plug into the 12V and Battery Neg ports? The motor IS in Neutral and the Neutral Switch in the Control Panel IS engaged. I KNOW the switch is good and everything was working Prior to this cause the guy I bought the motor from had a key from a Gun Safe that he was able to jiggle in the switch to get the motor to turn over to verify it would run. But now that I have messed with it a month later with a new working key, I got NUTTIN!!!! Can you GURU's give me some insight before I haul it to the shop and spend money that I might not need to spend??? HELP!!!!!
