1981 Johnson 35 and I am not getting a spark. In the provided photos, theres a female plug dangling and a (what I perceive to be) relay thats missing a connection (maybe?).
I have no clue what Im looking at here. Simplicity is not the name of the game with this outboard.
The white switch is the " start in nuetral only " switch.----It has provision for 2 wires but only needs one, so nothing missing there.----The other plug is for a feed to the coils from the CDI box I believe.------It appears a newer set of coils is used and perhaps a newer switch box as well.-----Where does the other end of the dangling plug go ?
Agreed, that 3-pin plug connects the coils to the power pack, and you certainly won't have fire with it unplugged. Wonder why it is unplugged anyway???
Well I finally was able to get back out to the outboard and found the wiring to connect to the plug. It was tangled in other wires and I must have overlooked it (THANKS!). Im not sure why it was unplugged. I plugged it all back up and dripped some mixed fuel in the carb and it wanted to fire! That's enough to make my day!
My next hurtle is finding a replacement fuel pump filter (or cap). I cant find just the cap without buying an entire fuel pump assembly. Is there a specific part number or direction anyone is able to point me in? I dont know why the previous owner cut the fuel line and robbed the filter cap...
