Re: 89 jhonson 150 gt

Look up the thread "free wiring diagrams" and follow the links to that. Find an engine that's close to yours (the carb engines are all going to be pretty similar).

It could be a bad ignition switch or safety kill switch, the wire to the ignition is supposed to be grounded when you want the engine to stop.

From there it starts getting expensive in a big hurry, a bad stator, power pack, or timer base could cause this. You really don't want to just start blindly replacing parts hoping to fix it, it'll get real expensive real fast.

You can find excellent troubledshooting information in the factory service manual (the only one to purchase) at: outboardbooks.com. Also, you may find relevant information on the web at: cdielectronics.com You will need some electronic test equipment, including a special peak-reading voltmeter.
