I am trying to help a friend with a boat they just bought. Model J40TTLEDS. I've searched and tried several testing suggestions, and most of the wiring colors they reference don't match what I have here.
Long story short it was purchased not running. I repaired a bunch of wiring, not engine related. I replaced the water pump, rebuilt the carbs and VRO. It didn't start, no spark. Checked the internet to see what to do that night. Pulled the black/yellow kill wire plug, fired right up. Checked all the connections, plugged everything back in, fired right up and it ran beautifully. Friend came the next day to test it out and take it home. Wouldn't start. No spark. Pulled kill wire, still no start. Checked connections, found a pin on left side of the engine, purple wire, not seated all the way. Pulled it in, figured it would explain an intermittent no start. It didn't.
Every diagram I've found has different color wires from what this engine has. They all show the main red plug, that I don't have. I'm not sure which wires to check when the colors don't match. Some resistances match, but the brown wires up to the stater have no connection. Resistance is OL. I might add, when I first tried to start it, I noticed the rectifier was hot and the flywheel was too, but the key was only on for a minute. And it hadn't ran.
If anyone has a diagram that fits, or can tell me which wires to check what on for the 1996 2cy 2st 40hp, please let me know.
Thank you.
