    Default Evinrude 40HP Lark III wiring issues

    I have a old Lark III, and the wiring is bad, I have most figured out, except for kill switch wired under the dash. It connects to wire bundle going back to junction box, but only wires I have coming from motor wire bundle connected are the starter power and ground, all other engine wires are left dis-connected.

    How do I get my kill swith (push button) to stop the motor. For now I have to pull gas line to starve it to stop.

    The two black wires and other in engine wire bundle don't connect to anything, what should they be connected to from the ignition wire bundle?

    You connect the 2 black wires coming from under the flywheel to a momentary switch, that's it that's all.

    You could connect it to a toggle switch but a momentary switch serves better.
    Signature- If you have fuel and spark- Have you checked compression?
