    Stop switch location?

    Reading your response closer, it looks as if the white wire that goes from the M terminal on the ignition switch directly to the Magneto terminal on the engine is correct, as it is the stop wire. I then have to add a ground wire to the other M on the ignition switch that has the blue wire on...

    No Spark 1971 Evinrude 60hp

    I was told by a marine mechanic that this motor can be started without the large plug being connected and by disconnecting it and jumping the starter, if you get spark the problem is in your ignition. When I had the plug connected, I was getting 12 volts to the amplifier
