Re: 1958 Evinrude 18hp electric start
Went to Napa yesterday and got all the wiring to run from the start/stop panel to the solenoid and from solenoid to the connector that plugs into the engine. Bought two new sealed push buttons also since the stop button was broken. Couple of questions...also bought a new solenoid while I was there, is that ok to use or does it have to be a "marine" one? Also looks like a may have to try and remove the outer shell on the connector that plugs into the engine. For one it looks like mud daubers have gotten into it so it will need a good cleaning and the two smaller gauge wires going into it are broken. One is broken very close to the fitting so i don't think i would be able to get a plastic connector on it. That outer shell is pretty darn hard it looks like but i guess i could manage to get it off then im guessing i would have to solder wires to it. Then maybe find some large shrink wrap to re-cover it. Any ideas on these issues?
