Hi guys... I have a quick question for you all.
As most of you know i have been working on my Johnson 1972 50hp electic shift. I have the motor runinng very nicely now thnaks to your help.
Well. Today I was doing just a clean up of the motor and I found that it appears that the overheat alarm buzzer/ light isnt there.. I am awaiting my workshop manual from good old amazon.. not arrived yet..
Well anyway... I see a brown wire coming from the engine which is the temp sender... Ok heres my question.. Am i right in assuming that the switch earths itself to the engine to complete the circuit when it opens due to heat . So i attach a buzzer to this wire and the second connector on the buzzer connects to a live feed. ( live when the engine is energized..) ..
The reason i ask is that .. after tracing the wires i see that the control box is from an earlier motor a 69 or 70 and it was spliced in but the waring light buzzer isnt there. Yep spliced has i traced the wires i found a bulge in the harnes hidden in the gunwal on close examination i found it was a full splicing of the wires.. ... )
I appreciate all of you help.... can i actually take a fused feed direct from the battery to this buzzer??? I have a battery switch to turn of the battery .. or would it be better to take from a live feed to the ignition switch ??
