here are some picks of what i need to know what the heck all of this does or goes to

Re: lots and lots of ??s 73 johnson 135

The factory manual has a complete color wiring diagram. If you hook up the wrong wire and burn that powerpack, it will be much more expensive than the book.

Anyway, the purple wires at the engine are for the choke solenoid. The one running from the top of the engine near the lifting eye should be disabled and the solenoid rewired so that it only runs off the switch on the remote control.

Looks like you're missing the plunger for the choke solenoid, too...

ok thanks guys also when i go to start it now it just clicks the starter does and i cheack all of the batery wires there all good and the power wire going to the starter is all good too should i just try and hit it wiht a hammer someone told me that might work lol dont know if thats a good idea or not but its just goes turn the key click trun the key click ???

Re: lots and lots of ??s 73 johnson 135

Never, ever, ever hit the start with a hammer! The magnets inside it are very brittle and will shatter if you hit the casing...

The click you're hearing is likely the starter solenoid. Could mean a low battery or a bad solenoid. If you follow the red battery cable into the motor, the first thing it bolts to is the solenoid. If you want to spin the motor over, you can jump directly to the post on the starter motor.

Click the thumbnail for the graphic on jumping the starter at the engine.

Be careful to use the positive terminals, it's easy to burn the wiring.

i took apart the starter last night and i did not hit it with a hammer but im betting someone els for sure did cuz all the magnets when mest up so it glued all the magnets back together and and polised up the brushes on the started its working now just have to put it on the boat and see if she will start thanks for all your help guys
