Have been working on this new-to-me motor hoping to be able to use it as a trolling motor.
Replaced water pump impeller, changed LU oil, replaced ignition sensor module under flywheel that was physically broken.
I also repaired the kill switch wire that runs from the tiller handle to the 5-pin connector that connects to the ignition module. When I bought the motor, the kill switch wire was pulled out of the 5-pin connector and laying loose. I had the motor running today and used the kill button on the end of the tiller handle to stop the motor. Now there is no spark at all at either cyl.
I checked the kill circuit and found it worked as expected. With the tether in place on the kill switch, I measure open circuit on the kill wire. With the tether removed from the kill switch, I measure a short to ground on the kill wire.
Sure would appreciate some advice on what to do next.
