First things first. I just bought this motor sight unseen, unknown condition, unknown history. No electric cables or ignition came with it.
So I want to see if I can get the motor running before buying anything for it.
From what I understand is the motor is in forward gear unless you supply power to the solenoids in the lower unit. apply power to the green wire and it should be in neutral, apply power to the green and purple wire and the engine will be in reverse.
my questions are, Does the motor start in neutral like a usual motor?
What should I do if I apply power to the green wire, and hear the solenoid click, but I still can't spin the prop by hand? the same is true for the other wire, and both wires.
Right now since the motor is in forward gear, it will not start, the starter tries to turn it over but can only spin it very slow.
Also would the carbs be interchangeable with my 1973 75hp, evinrude? any other parts interchangeable?
