OMC HELP SKOOLS

[macojoe]

same motor here, 1988 175 Evinrude, it has a werid problem.

When you shut the motor off with the key it will idel down just slighty and not shut off till itys good and ready??

Might take 5 sec or 5 min before it just dies out??

Changed the key switch twice now so thats not it??

Any idea??

Thanks!

Ok I will have to see what I can see??

I see the Yellow/Red and I was right there, its the N safty, and I have by passed that for now.

And with out typing all that the book says,
Key Switch Stop test:
If the ohmmeter reads zero check for a defect in the black/yellow wire between the key and 5 wire conector, repair or replace as required.

So I guess I will start there? I can't read wire diagrams for crap!!
But the ones you posted look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you ever heard of this problem before?? The motor just runs till it feels like shutting down?

Thanks!

Ok I have traced all the wires and all looks ok??

Skool, do you know what shuts down the motor when you turn the key off??

MJ, I haven't had an OMC for about ten years, but as I recall the motor shuts off by grounding the ignition. Check your ground connections around the control box and anywhere else you've worked.

[macojoe]

Thanks Air!!

This problem has been there along time, long before I got there.

I have checked all wires and replaced the key switch. I can't read wires and have no idea about them??

I wish it was just something I could change and it be good?

I want him to take me on the boat for the fall run, I said we can just choke it to kill the motor but he wants it done right!!
Can't blame him I would to!
