Hello, <br /><br />First off I would like to say what a great site this is! <br /><br />Ok. My problem is this folks.<br /><br />I have a second boat in which I bought mainly for the motor off of my nextdoor neighbour. At first he said he had the key for it, then a few weeks pass and says he can't find it. Ok, so I got mad and slammed a screw driver in the key switch to try and break it "yea yea I know your laughing by now lol" But anyways. Little to my disapointment that never worked.<br /><br />Ok so the question is, this is a 1971 Evinrude LARK 50HP Electric start, It has the control box with the push button shifting for reverse, neutral and forward.<br /><br />I went to a store here and bought a 4 point ket switch. Could somebody be so kind to tell me what wire/color wire goes where. I'd really appreciate this!<br /><br />Lastly, I was reading in another thread that a guy couldn't get anything from his starter, and the reason for this is he had it slightly out of neutral. Do you think this would be possible in my situation? I know I hacked the key switch because when I turn it, it makes the click sound. I turn the prop and it won't spin freely like it would my other boat when it's in neutral.<br /><br />Any help would be very much apprecaited!<br /><br />Thank you<br />Jay
<br /> the wire colors are easy and striaght fwd. red is bat purple is ign black is magneto. if this is a 3 cyl motorthere is also a purple white for choke. the prop will lock into fwd gear anytime the engine is off<br /> the gear case is hydraulicly shifted when one of two solinoids is activaated.<br /> I still have some parts around for it.if you wish more info reply again
