    2001 70hp Yamaha 70tlrz

    The motor runs great but I am concerned about the temperature sensor not being connected and I can’t find where the pink wire plugs into. Is it okay to splice into the pink wires that end up in the CDI ?

I just thought it could save a lot of batteries. Just thought I would ask the experts. I am not sure (if you can...
