I am new to the web site, I have a 1972 Sea Ray with a 165 inboard outboard mercruiser in it. I have 2 wires that have a led end that come out of the harness near the distributor that don't go to anything. But I know they should go somewhere. I have 2 other wires that come out in the same spot that go to some sort of solenoid and then there is also a blue wire that comes from the middle of the distributor. I'm lost. Motor turns over but wont start. Any help would be great. Thank you, Adam2202

Re: 165 MerCruiser wiring problem

you had to turn your head sideways to read the wiring.
The brown wires are tach and shift interupter
