Hi all,
Just came across an old Johnson 55hp from 1969. It turns over if I jump the starter solenoid but the original wiring harness was butchered. I managed to get another one similar but I don't believe this one has the wiring for the Hydroelectric shifting. Is there a way to add that in or wire it independently?
On top of that the wiring looks like it was butchered by rodents so I'm going to have to rewire it completely. Anyone have a wiring diagram handy? Or even better, pictures of a properly wired similar motor.
I'm looking for tips on how to replace the wires going into the black engine side connector plug. As an alternative, would there be any known issue with wiring it all directly using insulated connectors and eliminating the round red plug all together?
