Need some help here...
I have a 1972 65 hp evinrude outboard engine that will turn over and over and over (no spark) and will not start.
I have figured out if I take of the wire terminal cover and touch the #11 Black/White screw terminal (with somthing metal) it instantly fires off and runs fine. The screw and wire lead are clean and tight. It only takes just making the lightest contact with this screw to make it go. If I shut it off again it normally starts again. If I unplug the battery and try to restart it sometimes does not. I then touch this with a metal object and it will start again. WHY IS IT DOING THIS????? and what does this scew/wire lead to. It looks like the wire goes up underneath the flywheel. I've looked at the the manuals on this site and it dosent tell me...:facepalm:
please help!!!!!!! Thanks, Nick
