ok where to start, First I have a aq225e volvo penta motor that i had rebuild at a machine shop. now my brother installed the motor for me. now there are 3 wires that go to the starter from the wiring harness a red, a purple, and a yellow with red stripe I believe. my brother doesnt remember where the purple wire went on the starter he hooked it up several ways one of which what with the yellow/strip wire and a resistor by the coil started to get hot the disconnected it. anyone know how to fix this problem I would appreciate your help.

Re: starting problems

Ayuh,... Ain't sure, but I think the Big Red 1 goes on the Big Lug,...
The Yellow striped 1 goes to the Little terminal near the motor,..
And,.. The purple goes on the little outboard terminal...
