Re: 50HP Force,1st time wiring it need diagram

I hate to be the one to tell you, but you really should get a repair manual for that motor.<br /><br />The wiring color codes changed some years back, and you may be trying to match engine wire harness wires to wires that used the newer (or older) color code. Don't know what year or model motor you have, or how old your gauges and controls are, so we would just be guessing.<br /><br />If you get a repair manual, there are wiring diagrams for the motors and most controls.<br /><br />If you are near a metro area, try the public library, they often have manuals in the technical or repairs section. Or buy one here, see link below.

Thanx<br />I can't believe I forgot to mention it's a 91'.<br />I started it with a rope and it started no problem at all. Then killed it by crossing "stop" with "stop 2". there is a "start" but i'm not sure what to jump that with. but its a start. I tried getting the book locally and had diffaculties so thanx for that info.<br />Rigor
