I have a 1966 mercury 650,65 hp,serial 1897689.I just replaced the control cables and went to try the motor out with the new cables attached and the electric start would not turn it over at all,it was if there was no power.I took the control box apart,(its a mercontrol if that matters,} and I have an ignition switch,a neutral safety switch,and an electric choke,and thats it but the cable hookups,where the wires,I believe there were 6,hooked to the ignition there were several that had broken insulation on wires and maybe that was my problem.Does anyone know how they would proceed with this,I called a merc dealer and was told that the switches mentioned above where not available he did not think.Any direction would be appreciated.Thanks all.
