1985 75 hp mercury kill wire.

[N1265]

Hi Guys,
Just installed a new trigger on my 1985 Mercury 75hp and cant remember where this blk/yelstp wire goes.
It is coming from a small black cylinder just behind those yellow wires, witch I believe is the tilt cut off switch.

Any help or pictures of your unit would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

The black/yellow wire is the ign killer. Mercs used to have a mercury switch (small m) which killed the ign if the motor kicked up. They may still have had one in your year.

A generic wiring diagram shows the third terminal from the bottom on the left is the killer wire terminal. It should already have a black/yellow wire from the engine wire harness, leading to the control on it.

It goes under the blk/yell wire you have already attached to switchbox
