I bought this engine at the end of last season ( I was running a 58 35hp evinrude bigtwin ). I bolted it on took it down to the river and it fired right up. I quickly noticed I had no reverse, no biggie took it out anyway.... I hit the selectric forward button and away I went, engine sounded great! 5minutes later, it died.... Cranked and cranked, nothing. Got it back on the trailer with my 55 7.5 kicker, drove home and parked it. Now I got walleye fever again and I'm on dry land scratching my head....
I read every forum I could find on this engine, and applied as much as I could. I bought the manual as almost everyone suggested I do, and still haven't got it running. I'm having a hard time with the wiring as my engine seems to not be wired correctly or with the correct colors, in other posts with pictures there seems to be a bus bar and diodes I don't have on my engine and some kind of vacuum switch I have and they dont.... I know I'm not getting spark, my question is why?? I found a wiring diagram for a cdi amplifier and everything is hooked up correctly in that department, at least I think... My engine model is 60ESL-71C, amplifier# is 389549...
