I have a 1980 70hp Johnson and my throttle control box a piece of the plastic inside was broke. Was wondering if anyone has a picture of the inside. The reason i took it apart was my ignition switch. The key was stuck, and i believe it is a bad ignition switch due to it ran i shut it down tryed to restart it and nothing looked at some info and heard it could be a bad ignition switch so i figured sence key was stuck might as well replace it

This is not my motor but for got to take a pic of it. Were the fuse is with the blue circle. It seems to be real loose on my motor. My question is will this issue make it not start at times and start fine other times.

Not sure what you are saying. i just asked a simple question if the fuse is loose connection. Will it prevent it from starting? some times it will other times it wont battery full charge
 
Does it not crank over consistently or not start consistently ???----The factory fuse is about 5/8 to 3/4" long and not visible when that is assembled / plugged in !!----Your simple answer from me.-----Solenoid is not factory original.-----There is an extra cable attached at the battery ground for some reason.-----So where does that go ?---A second battery / trolling motor / back-up kicker ?
 
Like I said the pic was not my motor I took of internet mine is sitting on the top i was just using it as a reference mine is the same though not that far apart its together just doesn't seem to sit all the way in and pulls apart again real easy. will it make it not start being loose it starts sometimes and other times nothing at all so i was wondering if that would be the issue and it doesn't crank sometimes it will other times it wont

Was just wondering if any one out there had the wiring diagram for the starter solenoid wiring for a 1980 70 hp Johnson I would appreciate if you could share a photo of it thanks
