Dear All,
Before I begin, I'd like to express my sincerest thank you for any help I may receive. If this question is in the wrong forum, I'm sorry...I figured it was this one since I'm asking about wiring of the starter for a evinrude motor. I have a friend (that's the truth, this wouldn't have happened to me)...that asked if I'd help him connect his ignition switch up since he broke his key in his switch.
I connected the switch up and went to his house to install the ignition thinking it would be easy. Well, the only issue that arose is the control box wires. I'm not sure what to do to figure out the answer to my issue. Before I got to my friends house, he had disconnected the yellow/red wires from the control box. So, now all we have is a yellow/red wire coming from one terminal and a bare terminal on the other. I need to know which one should connect (through the plug) to the starter and which one connects to the ignition? All we know about this connection is that both wires are yellow with red stripe, but we don't know what they connect to and what they are coming from...
I'm assuming that I'll probably have to use the multimeter to figure this out, if so, how?
I think looking at the pictures, you'll see what the issue is...
Please help me. I'm desperate.
Thanks,
Rick
P.S. The first picture is of the control box, the second is the internals of the box underneath, the third picture is of the plug that should connect to the ignition switch (connected using the diagram in the last picture), and the fourth picture is of the terminals that I need to figure out what they should go to...
