Howdy, fishook.<br /><br />Go to Engine FAQs and do the troubleshooting in "Outboard wont start".<br /><br />Good luck. :)

No,it shouldn't,probably can't.What kind of cut off switch do you have? Back in 1978 I believe the only OMC accessory was a spring type attachment that physically turned the key back to off.<br /><br />DHP
