I bought a jon boat with this motor on it. Owner had to jump her to get her started saying the ignition switch was bad but she started right up. So I bought a new ignition switch and the wiring color code does not match specs completely, so I am doing a bit of guessing on that front. The three wires I have connected currently is the battery power to the switch, 12 volts checking good there. The ground to the switch from the battery. A white wire that I figured out was the starter. And a purple with white stripe wire for the choke. I can get her to spin and no matter which of the remaining two blue wires I use, one with a white stripe, I am getting no fire. Also, The fuse was already blown on the engine come to find out so I replaced the fuse and there was another wire that was disconnected too that I connected it up. At this point, I keep blowing the bloody fuse. I know I have electrical hell here. I can get her to spin at this point, but trying not to have to jump the solenoid at every start up and would love to stop blowing this fuse. Thoughts?
