[lemo32]

looking in the manual i have noticed that the 73 is the only motor to have two white wires coming off soleinoid, one white goes back to harness other goes to a safety switch, located on motor, i havent been able to locate, so called safety switch, has anybody had any dealings with this motor? or know where this switch is located?

Look at the side of the powerhead. You will see a vertical lever with the throttle control cable attached at the bottom, and the top end operates the timer base. It pivots in the center. Just aft of that pivot point is the safety switch, operated by the throttle lever as it pivots back and forth.

Edit: Actually that safety switch on that model is a bit of overkill and you don't really need it if you are using the correct remote control. There is a start-in-neutral-only switch in the control.
