So, looking at the cutout switch…
The center post goes to the magneto.
Do the other two black wires represent wires landed on the housing of the cutout switch?
If I’m looking at the diagram correctly that’s what I’m seeing. Am I correct?
Also where is the Mercury switch getting its ground reference? I’m not in my garage right now but if memory serves me isn’t the throttle gear that the Mercury switch attaches to plastic? So there is no ground reference? On my motor there was a manually installed single wire to ground that attached to the Mercury switch housing at the throttle gear. I will send a picture tomorrow
Thx!
