Hello, I just replaced my rectifier/regulator. I started the motor (Johnson 1989 200 HP, everything worked, when I went to turn the motor off, it just kept running. Any ideas what may be happening and how to fix it? Thanks.
There will be Blk/yel wires going to the powerpacks from the terminal strip, but there will ALSO be a blk/yel wire from the engine harness that needs to be connected to the terminal strip, too. That blk/yel from the engine harness eventually goes up to the key switch, which grounds it when the switch is in the off position.
My bet is you have left a wire off.
Try grounding the terminal with the black/yel wires on it at the strip. The engine will kill immediately if you have the pack side wired properly.
