I have a 1998 30hp Johnson outboard. My repair manual only goes to 1990 and the ignition switch is slightly different. What wines go to the two MM's. I am guessing black and black with white trace.
Thanks.

Re: ignition wiring

Are you sure that wire is "Black/White? The kill circuit has always been "Black" and Black/Yellow".

One of the "M" terminals is usually a raised tower like terminal which the Black/Yellow wire would be attached to.

THe other regular "M" terminal would have the plain Black wire attached to it.

Hi Joe;

That is why you are admiral and I'm not. Black and black with yellow trace.

Thanks, Kelley
