    Thanks Labradorguy: I have 1-6 done as you’ve said, that’s how I got it to crank. Since I don’t have a key switch, I’m still not sure what to do with the magneto wire that comes from the top of the engine. I think the consensus is that the mercury wire and the cutout switch go to the negative terminal on the starter solenoid.Where does the magneto wire go?

    It would be soooo much easier if I could just find a mechanic in Texas to do this!
