Quickstop - Emergency stop doesn't work

[bellybauch]

Hi,
I need help. I have a Johnson Outboard Motor following details:
2002 > 50 hp > Johnson J50PLSNF
The engine starts but does not turn off, when the emergency stop clip is pulled off.
I changed the starter, the CDI-Box but it still does not work. Could this be a problem with the electrical system, a cabel defect or a relais that doesn't work?
I don't have a plan for the boat electricity. Could anybody help me....

bye, Sabine

the engine is stopped in two ways....when you turn the key off you ground a lead to a power pack...same way with the kill switch....this is a black and yellow wire that has an inline disconnect under the cowl...

hi, thanks for answering, the problem is the engine won't even stop when I turn off the key. It only stops when I pull the fuel line ... same way to fix as mentioned above?
bye

I had one 50 doing the same thing, late 80's, it was the power pack itself that time.

The pack is already changed..It still doesn't work
I'm afraid it is a faulty cable...

you probably have an inline disconnect under the cowl...green and yellow or black and yellow wire...make sure it is connected..if it is not thats your problem..if it is connected then when the unplug it and ground the lead going to the power pack...that kill the motor...if it dont then its probably the power pack..if it does kill it then you have an open wire going to the ignition switch or a switch problem...with the key off the two ''m'' terminals should be shorted to pick up the ground..

Hopefully you didnt throw away the old powerpack it may be good still?

Fortunately we still have it!

yesss! Thanks for help! With your help we managed to fix it! It was a faulty cable! Thanks a lot

i would run the boat a time or two and then swap out the power pack with the one you took out..if it works then leave it in and you will have a known good spare...
