1989 Evinrude XP150 (E150STLCEM). My Clymer manual says to disconnect the 5-wire connector between the engine harness (big red connector) and the powerpack. Then says to place a jumper between the "E" wire on the powerpack connector end and ground (this is a white wire). Then crank the engine and check for spark with a spark gap tester. Just wondering if anybody can tell me if this is correct or not, because most threads I've found on this general topic just say to disconnect "the" black/yellow wire from the pack and say nothing about grounding a white wire. My connector actually has two black/yellow wires, by the way. Thanks!
