I’ll give that a try, great advice. I know the motor is fine, I’ve been running it all day calibrating/bench testing it. I was just planning on connecting up the control box to verify that was OK before installing on my boat, but I have apparently run into yet another snag. The motor (35hp 1978 Johnson) does not have a kill switch, so for the past week of me working on it, I’ve just been using the choke to kill it off. Obviously once mounted on a boat, I need a safer way of shutting the motor down, god forbid we ever hit something…I want that kill lanyard functioning properly.
It is the side mount control box, but I am hoping to install the binnacle (vertical) control box, I would assume the wiring is all the same, just a different cosmetic configuration?
