    1987 Johnston 150GT wont turn off

    I found a wiring diagram I hand wrote many years ago and attached it as a PDF file. I believe you have one of three possible choices. No continuity between point A and B. Check plug between yellow/black and yellow/blue wires. Bad diode, it is open. If it was shorted both sides would...

It almost sounds the way you describe it that someone made a drive shaft extension for some reason. What is the history of the motor? Do you know of any repairs made before...

    Ice rescue here today - some people just don't get it.
