Hi rkno<br />Right away I see two problems. 1 you have no service manual. You need one. Buy one or check one out at the library. 2 you didn't post your e-mail add. so I can't send you any info to help.

really don't know to much on johnson engines ,but the stator may also charge the batery on those two yellow wires,@ those two brown wire's go to the powerpack or switch box.
