How do you know the tiller stop switch is good? A ohm meter test can not confirm proper operation, the ohm meter can’t analyze possible arcing situations. Like I say, these switches were not the best quality, and failed frequently. Do you know what leads those butt connectors are on? You sure don’t want butt connections anywhere in the harness, especially on the stop circuit!
OK, so the engine was originally a remote model, someone converted it….And, we don’t know if they used the proper kit with proper wiring harness, or just kind of cut and pasted the wiring….
I will look for a wiring diagram when I get home, but fear that it won’t resemble anything you have. I’m guessing the previous owner/tech just cut into the original wiring….Is the key switch on the engine or in the boat? Does the engine have the big red plug on the stbd side? I’m sure we can make the wiring work properly, it’s just a matter of making nice connections, as few as possible….
Feel free to post more pictures of the engine, its wiring, key switch, etc…
