1991 Johnson 200hp, J200TXEIB. IMG_1023.jpgI recently replaced my Stator, Regulator/Rectifier, and Powerpack due to the rectifier shorting out and catching fire. After doing more research on my engine today, I cannot get to shut down without choking it. The engine is running good and firing on all cylinders. It starts as soon as I turn the ignition switch.
The only question I have is the wiring coning out of the powerpack. I attached the schematic for you to view.
I have a yellow wire with a red stripe coming from the harness and one coming from the powerpack. The one coming from the powerpack has a male bullet connector on it.
The schematic shows them running together and then attaching to the solenoid. Whenever I attach them together on the solenoid the ignition will not spin the starter. When I disconnect them and leave the one coming from the powerpack disconnected, it starts ok.
Can you tell me where the yellow/red stripe wire coming from the powerpack goes?? and could this be my problem?? I do not want to purchase a powerpack until I'm sure, because I have read that other people have replaced the powerpack and had the some problem.
I have tested my ignition switch and grd wires at the powerpack and all appears to be grounding. Thanks for your help.

The yellow/red from powerpack to relay is the signal lead for activating quick-start. Can not quite understand why the starter will not 'spin' if connected unless a short in the powerpack. That however should blow the fuse!

Thanks for your help. Does it matter if the two wires are connected together before they are attached to the solenoid?? Or can they each be run directly to the solenoid.

You may have pinched the wire causing it to short to ground. Recheck the wires under the powerpack. The wires should go just like the diagram you have. My guess is you have a wiring problem or the pack is bad
