    like i said earlier; When the big red plug is disconnected the remote wiring tests out ok. When the big red plug is disconnected the motor will run on its own. its only when the plug is connected the fault comes back.... i'll check the wiring but wanting to know if it could be anything...

    115 V4 2-Stroke 1978 no Spark at any cylinder

    i kinda figured that out, the kill lanyard is built into the key switch, it basically turns the key to the off position.... My problem is that the black/yellow wire is shorting to earth and i dont know if its the electronics or a damaged wire. the engine runs if i disconnect the big red plug...
