Re: 1974 50hp evenrude won't start
Welcome to iboats montecarlo!
First thing to check is the fuse on the engine. On the starboard side of the block you should find a fuse holder (red color I believe). This houses a 20amp fuse which feeds the ignition switch. If it blows, ya' don't go. Give it a look and post back what you find.
EDIT: By the way, your engine is likely a 71 or 72'. 72' was the last year for electric shifts.
