hi everyone just want to start off saying i love this forum growing up i always went fishing with my uncle suddenly in 1996 he passed away when he did his old starcraft with a 50 evinrude sat in the backyard under a tarp it ran in 1996 i enlisted in the Air force and moved away Recently i got stationed close to home and was visiting my aunt when i asked her what she was doing with the old boat she said nothing I told her i was going to bring it home and take a look she sayed ok on the condition that we no matter what will keep the boat in the family as it is one of the only thing we had left of my uncles, so i stripped the boat and focused on the RUDE I know enough about outboards to get me by (hell Im a Aircraft mechanic I under stand mechanics) But this whole eletricshift has me all thown for a lupe i tried using the pull start to check if compresson was still there or if they were seezed. good compression no keys so i ordered a new ignition switch but cant get starter to spin. so i jumped power to starter it spins but not fast. with this eletric shift is there something special, were should i go from here to get this motor back in the water were it belongs at least get it purring at all. and is there any wiring diagrams out there or were can i get manual on this motor. are these motors with electrishift worth the time. Just some guidence would be gratefull Thanks WOuld it be best to remove all wiring and motor and just start by shooting all wires from controls back or motor back
