No Title

You will have to piece it together with parts. Here is how it all connects

topic has come up before. Lindy46 posted: " ... I found the factory Johnson/Evinrude/OMC starter kit which they still make for the 18, 20 & 25hp models from the late 60's early 70's. It is part number 0175019 and consists only of the starter (376850) and bracket (308482/317328). It doesn't include the solenoid/bracket and push button included in the original kits. Just thought this might help someone else in the future."

You might check here at iBoats ('68 and newer diagrams/parts). Working from F_R's wiring diagram, I would be inclined to make a simple harness if you can put together a flywheel/starter/bracket. (Add a solenoid and a start button.) Best bet is always a donor motor with factory electric (Ebay or Craig's List).

Place a wanted ad at aomci.org, there are many parts guys that can help out there. Ill look through my inventory to see what I have left, but have helped out with a few electric start conversions lately.
