    All, thanks a million for your help, I downloaded the book and have been pouring through it. I only have 2 wires to go and I’m ready to hit the ‘start’ and ‘choke’ buttons and see what happens.

    First, this black wire with no insulation on the connector that comes from the control cable to the head – it has an un-insualted knife connector, but I think it should have a cover over the knife connector and go to the S terminal on the starter solenoid.

    Second, the white wire from the mercury switch goes to the starter solenoid ‘S’ terminal? The same terminal that comes from the start switch

    Thanks again.(P.S. Don’t make fun of my bundle ties on the starter solenoid, I’m just trying to get the thing to run before I clean it all up! )
