Hey guys have Chapperal with a 63 40hp Johnson eletramatic and I am trying to find out how the wiring goes. I have a manual but it doesnt show me the color of the wires. So what I am looking for is I have 4 wires that were not hooked up when I got the boat. 2 are 16 gauge black ones 1 grey 16g and 1 Brown that is a 10 or 12g. I dont know where these should go but it doent have the generator on it but I have one coming. Thanks and any help would be great.

Re: Wiring???

are you talking about motor wiring or boat accessory wiring. should be totally separate. system, running of the same battery.

Those to 16 ga black wires may be the points killer wires. See if they trace to a place under the flywheel. The thicker wire may be from the generator to the voltage regulator. Those motor had the old mechanical voltage regulator (shaped like a small loaf of bread). Those motors were also wired with a ammeter on the dashboard as well as an overheat light on the dash. There was a sensor on the head which grounded the wire when the motor overheated. since you have the electric shift, do you have the wires for that squared away?

You might get a better response in the Johnson Motor Repair forum. Joe Reeves is an expert and resides there.
