Hey guys, I have a 1983 Johnson 150 hooked up to a Aquasport 200 recently purchased and am working on, have a lot to learn about outboards so thank you in advance, I have the old wiring harness and all of the wiring looks complete all the way to an ignition switch, nothing happens when I turn the key, I have jumped the starter solenoid to see if I could get it to turn, the bendix is spinning but not lifting and if I manually lift it I can only get a half rotation out of the wheel before it doesn’t have the power to move it, I’m aware this may be as a result of having loose or smaller gauge wire than I need, Need to figure out the switch to lock my terminals in correctly. I plan on pickling the motor but am under the impression it shouldn’t be much easier to move than it is. Trying to figure out which direction I should go getting a switch wired in,Look forward to learning and thank you if you have some guidance to offer.plugs came out Wd went in, carbs look great, in neutral.
