Hi all,
Have a 1960 Evinrude 40 hp w/ no generator. I would like to hook up a 2 connection button start to it. I have a wiring harness plugged into the motor that has a ground(black) and a Red Pos. at the other end and some wires . I just need a simple wiring hookup from battery to solenoid and to the push button start. I also need directions where they all hook up from and to the connections. Also a diagram that is very simple that shows even where to hook up wires that come from the smaller posts on the solenoid. Not electrically inteligent. Thankyou for any help. John
