hi everyone i have a dilema here any help would be great thanks..
i have a Merc 1150 thunderbolt ignitoin 1970 something its fried so i bought a 650 1968 i think also a thunderbolt ignition to use for the time being. I left all the controls and cables off the 1150 on the boat and just plugged in the external harnest and both are both 7 pins on both engines. I tried the lights, bilge pump, accesories, the choke button everything works? First question is the harnest compatible with the two motors ?
Now here is where i have the issue on the 1150 the person who i had bought it from years ago had only one white wire coming from the tachometer plugin running to what seem to be the starter solenoid that he spliced in to the yellow wire ? so like i mention everything seems to work except when i turn the key over nothing happens. Do i try and put that wire somewhere? or splice it to something? any help would be great thanks ..
