Reply To: Magneto helm Starter Switch wiring

[Chris Koure]

Thank you Fleetwin,

 

It is an electric start. Or so it is now. I got this outboard from a past member and it was a runner without an electric start, lower leg, and carburetor. All were donated into his 1957 35 HP Evinrude. My first Speeditwin was/is a parts motor. The starter, lower leg from my first Speeditwin went on his old Speeditwin. My carburator ended up (after getting into it) not being worth the effort. I recently purchased a Johnson 28 and I’ve taken the carburator from that (much better carb even with out rebuilding the carb.)

 

So he said just connect these two wires (coming from under the flywheel )to a switch and that will be a kill switch.

 

So I’m trying to set up my original helm (from 1968 or 9). Dad sold that 28 HP Speeditwin with a different boat in the 70’s (god rest his soul) so I’m clueless/confused.

 

Do I bring those two wires to the helm switch and connect them to the “M” terminals?

 

I initially purchased the wrong starter key switch (thank goodness I didn’t use it).

 

Probably clear as mud now!

 

Thanks for reading & helping,

 

Here is a pic of the helm that goes on my bow to stern seat. (Pic is too big to post.)
