Rebuilding a 1990 Force 50hp(model 507X90D). The block is US Marine and so are the controls and switch. I don't have a model for the controls or switch though. I can jump the motor from the solenoid so I know the motor runs...not well...but it runs. I'm trying to get the ignition put back together right now but I cannot figure out this wiring harness and switch. I cannot find a diagram or explanation anywhere. I have the Clymer manual but this package is not covered and nothing is even close to the color combination. Here is what I do know and what I have so far:
harness wires are:
yellow/black
black/yellow
yellow/red
blue/white
gray/black
green/white
tan - this is the overheat alarm. It has a connector at the end of the wire but I have nothing to hook it up to. I don't have the alarm for it. Does it need to be hooked up to start the motor with the ignition?
it's a 6 prong switch and they are labeled:
M,B,M,I,S,C
What I know so far is that the yellow/red is labeled start on the engine block tag. I have it hooked up to the S on the switch. The black/yellow is labeled stop and I hooked it up to one of the Ms. The yellow/black is labeled choke and I hooked it up the C, which is the center prong of the 6. That's as far as I made it. None of the other wires are labeled except for the tan wire, which I mentioned above. I don't even get a click or anything with the way the switch and harness is configured so I know I'm not even close. Can anyone please help?!?! Thanks is advance ya'll!
P.S. I didn't tear this motor off the boat it came from so everything I've done so far is from scratch. I have no clue what the wiring looked like when it was actually in a boat and operational. It's currently on a stand.
