Because of your help I was able to locate the problem, the wire for the diode was removed from the ing switch, thank you very much for all of your help.
I will, just trying to cover all possibilities so I don't keep bothering people, I really do appreciate your help, I have never dealt with Electric shift before.
I replaced the starter but not the solenoid, it starts fine, I seen on the diagram that power was routed from the solenoid through the vacuum switch then on to the control
It's cool, I appreciate all the help, it's a johnson shifter, could abby of this problem be in the starter solenoid, it got real hot and the starter quit while the guy I was buying it from was trying to show me it it run.
Troubleshooting 69 55hp johnson that won't shift into reverse or neutral, I'm not sure where the power is supposed to come from for this Electric shift, I get no power on blue or green wires.
