Hi guys
Having probs starting a new (2nd hand merc 50hp) engine i purchased and think the problem lies in the control box. There is a plug that something has to go into and on the inside of the control there is 4 wires coming out of it, brown, grey, black & purple. The latter two go back to the ignition key. At the front of the socket it looks like whatever is supposed to plug in has 3 pins on the connector.
Would really like to bypass this but don't know which ones to join up?!?
The engine turns over fine on the key but there is no spark.
Cheers
Matt
