Re: wiring 1960 evinrude

I've ordered a brand new starter , $133, from Sea Way in Seattle Washington.<br />The share a project is close to my motor but my vacum is on the port side of my motor.I'm trying to get a good picture of the unidentified wiring in the first picture I sent you. Since my vacum is in a different place maybe the safety sw. is too. It has to be because it has a wire to the vacum and a ground mounted to the motor and a white wire with a knife disconnect attached to nothing. When I disconnected it from the vacum and tried to start it, there was nothing, not even a click. so its got to be important

Re: wiring 1960 evinrude

the ground that is going to the vacuum, should go through the safety switch.<br /><br />From the photos You have provided, I can't see anything that even remotly resembles the safety switch.<br /><br />If you advance the throttle all the way, can you make the starter solenoid click?

Good news gentlemen--New starter and wiring did a world of good! She cranks like crazy!! And I can shut her off with the key. I am still trying to send picture.I edited in Paint brush but don't know how to send it yet--<br />Next project - Lights on a separate battery

good to hear.<br /><br />I would still like to find out if you have or don't have a working safety switch. That bit still has me worried.... just a little.
