Great site and forums!i've used it for quite awhile
This is my first post,as i just registered today (newbie)
I've been a mechanic for yrs.But o.b.'s have got me relearning everything!
Anyway...I have a Tahiti? Not sure,guess it doen't really matter,which had a Volvo outboard.
Yes,it was an outboard!I changed motors because parts were impossibe to find.
I went with a 1988 85hp Force model #856X8B 3cyl.
All went well until i went to hook up the wiring to the motor.my boat has 3 sets of wires going to the motor.
1-red & black 2-yellow & white 3-3 blacks.
The motor terminal is as follows:
1-start-yellow from motor is here
2-tach- purple is here
3-magneto-white& black here
4-choke-green is here
5-heat-orange is here
6-batt-red is here
7,8&9 are bussed together
7-magneto-nothing here
8-ground-blue is here
9-nothing
I'm pretty sure where they go but i don't want to confuse the issue by speculating or hooking them up wrong,as i just installed a $200.00 stator.By the way which wires do i have to be the most careful with to avoid frying the stator?
any and all help will be greatly appreciated
thanks and have a great day!
