[FONT="]1975 Evinrude 40 HP[/FONT]
[FONT="]Model: 40EL75C

[FONT="]Got this thing purring like a kitten, but have the old,"Starts with the key, but will not shut off when the key goes to the Off position" problem.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]It did work correctly first, about 8 times, then it would do this thing where when you turned the key off, you could hear it rev a little lower, then turn the key on and get full revs. Almost like it was using the cutout switch.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now, it doesn't even do that, just keeps running at full idle revs.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Brand new wiring harness on both the motor and to the console.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Brand new ignition switch and kill switch. The kill switch never functioned right either.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have tested every wire for continuity with tone on my multi-meter.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have tested both the new ignition switch and kill switch and they both function according to the continuity test for both the On/Off ignition switch positions, and the With/Without lanyard.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Could it be something wrong with the cutout switch?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Again, starts up every time...[/FONT]
[FONT="]Help! TIA[/FONT]
