Hello all, well you were good enough to help me figure out what carb kits i needed, I got them ordered and installed. Now after all the work I’ve put into this ol outboard to help a young friend out, and this thing has been one thing after another...
One of the last things I’m now up against the wall with is trying to find a legitimate wiring diagram for it. I’ve found that are close but no cigar. For some reason this serial isn’t being recognized even though you guys helped me determine it’s an ‘85, Mercury 50 HP 4 cyl with a serial of A133684, but I have a sneaking suspicion someone before has maybe messed with placement of wires and I’m so close I refuse to chance blowing the CDI. I’ll be darned if I can locate the wire suppose to go to the Choke Solenoid.. then there’s a small black block about 3/4” long (that I’ll attempt to upload photo/s) that one side attaches to front plate in front of carbs and also hold the starter Solenoid amd also the Regulator rectifier... so one screw attaches to this black plate (I’m assuming for grounding) and then a yellow with black tracer is screwed to other end of this block and no clue what that does. Bout pulling my hair out being this close and hit another stumbling block.
Now to try and upload photos haha (the things I don’t do to help deserving souls out, Lord keep giving me strength)
