I noticed this the other day when I took off the cover to check the plugs that there were two wires that appeared to have been at some point connected but may have came loose.
I'm not totally sure when or how or if this happened at all or was like this but I thought it was strange to just see 2 wires sitting like that. I don't take the cover off of the motor very often so It is very possible that I just overlooked it for a while.
Right below the column of where the spark plug wires meet the engine is where they are located. The "male" plug, that has metal head on it that almost looks like a pellet you would put into a BB gun is a darker grey/black with a white line going through it and the other is a cream-beige color and it has a splice tube on it like at one point something was crimped there. Funny thing was that I disconnected the battery and tried putting the "male" end into the "female" end but they don't fit in very easily.
These wires run into my boat through the tubing and such that the other wires run through. From the boat, they go into the tube and into my motor and stop where they appear to be "disconnected". Several other wires in various colors continue from this point. Both wires come from my boat, and neither appear to be going towards my motor with the other wires.
The boat starts and runs in this condition but I am extremely curious on what these could control and if they accidently came loose when I took the cover off once.
I know it's a long shot but if there is someone out there that is good with wiring and colors and such maybe they could give me some advice!
