Ah, yes. The motor has a black connector, the control box has the red one. I was going to just use butt connectors to make the correct wires matchup with each other. There is still a white and grey wire on the control box side, but I’d just make sure they weren’t connected to anything. I believe I have a dead, newer style 25hp (80’s), which I can cut the motor-side plug off (red), and splice onto from the older style 35hp I am working on. Any words of wisdom/warning with this?
Earlier in the year I saw another mechanics handywork retrofitting a 1985 25hp motor with a new style BRP control box (2000’s). I’m guessing that as long as the correct wires are lined up, things should still work OK? The motor worked fine using that control box.
