Starter Solenoid Wiring

[poolshark38759]

i have a 1975 Evinrude 25hp. i melted the wiring going to the solenoid and electric choke. the electric choke is toast so i chunked it.<br /><br />my solenoid has 4 posts on it. 2 big ones that go to battery and starter. the too small one?? marked I and S.. i have just a standard push button started switch and kill switch. i have five wires pulled to the motor from my "panel". 2 red 2 blue and 1 yellow (all i could find a store).

Re: Starter Solenoid Wiring

Connect the I side to the switch or in your case the starter button. The S side should go to ground through a safety switch that prevents your from starting the motor when it is raised. If you don't have one, just connect it to ground.

If I'm not mistaken, the other side of the solenoid goes through a safety switch that prevents starting in gear and shouldn't be bypassed.
