[FONT=&quot]Right - any johnson guys? This is a head scratcher:

[FONT=&quot]1985 johnson, i can not for the life of me figure whats going on with the kill circuit! Motor works GR8- runs perfect...
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dilemma:
The manual push kill works every time, however i get NO continuity on it ever, at all, ohms, beep, diode - nothing and yes its just passing a ground wire to the pack!
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Now if thats not enough, the tiller safety lanyard wires were disconnected by PO, now the continuity on that works perfect (beeps to ground when removed/quiet when red clip is on)-
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]HOWEVER - when i connect the lanyard "kill" wire to the same kill wire that works for the push button - NO SPARK.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Ghost in the machine here? Ive checked 20 times - each kill switch is literally just one ground wire == switch === pack, just one is NO and on NC -

[FONT=&quot]Thoughts? Ghost in the machine?

Found the culprit - oem lanyard switch passed an intermittent amount of ohms thru, too little to trigger the meters beep - either way put a new one in front panel and works perfect now.
