Looking good. Damn, I wish we had clear water up here so we could snorkle/shallow dive. I'd love to do it, but up here you can't see more than 3 feet in front of your mask. Scares the sh!t outta me like that. There used to be an underground fed fresh water lake near here.. 15-20 feet to the bottom and you could see the bottom from the surface... Then some land developer got the great idea to fill it in and make a shopping mall... :cen: That was the end of my snorkeling/diving. <sigh>

well i finally tested the motor here is a video of how its doing i found out there is a small pump on the side of the motor with the red nob when i unplug it the motor turns on with no problem and when i plug it back on the motor wont start what happens if i live it off do i need it

here is the video

Looks like the choke to me. I'd fix it, it will come in handy.

I really don't know much obit outboards but what can happened if I don't have it

that's the enrichener. That should only have power to it when you push the key in. Check your key switch wiring and operation, sounds like you may have a bad key switch

there is a few things i have to check like the wiring on the key switch my my tachometer don't work and is brand new but i am sure the pump is on the open position all the time about the key switch when i turn on the motor and i try to put the key on the off position the motor stay on the only way i turn of the motor is by the kill switch where can i get a good wiring diagram for this motor

For reference, red is 12V+, Black is 12V-, purple is key on power, yellow with the red stripe is start. Black with the yellow stripe is ignition kill circuit, purple with the white stripe(on OMC products) is the choke/enrinchener


this goes to a pic of a factory key switch.
