The kill switch connects the Black/Yellow to ground. The switch should be an open connection when running, and make connection to kill motor. The switch grounds the magneto which stops the spark. If the Black/Yellow is connected to the Mag and the Black is a good ground back to the motor...
Do how ever you would like, its all adjusting to a specific point of 2 fingers in/out
I would do one turn on each and then look to see how the marks change. It can always be reversed but I'm just guessing from what your showing.
The VP part number comes back as a Carter
I would guess its a 3/8 inverted flare but Lou may know for sure
Might even be equal to the Airtex

I wouldn't unless your going to let it sit without checking for several years. I pull the drive every year and check alignment and do maintenance. If you do it every year or every other year, I wouldn't bother. It doesn't hurt to do so, but if the top nut is torqued down real tight, the...
They have been adjusted before because the tabs on the bottom have been bend away from the nut. Its ok to leave them that way if you do annual or semi annual inspections.
Not for certain but think the nuts are 1 1/8. Loosen the top nut a few turns and then rotate the nut counter clockwise to...
The 20amp is normally for ignition.
Start disconnection things like the coils and switch box. Then see what blows the fuse when things start getting reconnected
Things settle over time and this is the reason for inspecting alignment.
Having marks on the top and very little on the bottom I would adjust the front mounts down 1 turn and try again
Looks like your real close, the the bar should go in and out with only using 2 fingers each way.
When your adjusting the mounts, have you been turning each up or down the same number of turns each time?
Warranty is always roll the dice, might be worth it for the motor but not the hull. Motor is not an option so I would pass
So long as the old gas is out and filters changed I would just follow the Merc break in as the manual would show
There is nothing wrong with your system other then working on it, or finding parts. Can get new cables made to what ever length needed.
The new style holds the drive without a lockout and has a built in pressure relief in case something is hit. Do admit your style will protect the drive from...
