1996 johnson fastrike 115 2 stroke

[firemanfitz]

Hello, I have been having problems blowing a 20 amp fuse on top of the motor ( connector fuse part # 0514033) that connects into the inline fuse cover (part# 0514033). It doesn't happen all of the time, but sometimes. When it blows, my engine won't turn over, and when i change it, it starts right up. Waiting for my solec book to come in, but does anyone no where this double red wire goes too? tx all.

If the fuse blows when trying to start the motor, the short may be in the accessory wire. Look on the motor harness and under the dashboard for melted wires, especially where you see the purple and black wires close together. The circuit starts with a solid red wire(unfused +12VDC) feeding one side of the fuse. A red/purple (fused +12DC) wire will then run to the ign switch. When you turn the key to start, the fused +12VDC is sent down the yellow/red wire to the starter solenoid, and possibly the powerpack. When the key goes into the "run" position, fused +12VDC power is sent to the accessory (purple) wire.
