The black and yellow wire is the bumble bee wire. I don't know why i chose that name for it. I guess i thought it would be easier to type than black and yellow.

Pay attention to what spare was saying and go through the wiring diagrams.
Let us know what you find, it sounds like wrong wire on wrong terminal.

I checked the wiring diagrams online and on the link. Everything matches up. If i disconnect the ground or the black/yellow (bumblebee) wire the motor will run. The only way to shut it off is to reconnect the wire i disconnected.
Could it be the ignition switch? That's what i am leaning towards right now but don't want to spend money on an ignition switch till i am 100% sure its the culprit.

According to my test light the ignition switch is working fine. The black and yellow contact on the ignition switch only is grounded when the ignition is off.
I have completely pulled the big red plug apart on the motor and on the black and yellow wire contact on the motor side of the plug i have a dim ground. What the hell?? That contact feeds two black yellow wires one of each go to the power packs.

Well i think i finally broke the electrical curse of my Johnson. A new ignition switch and a jumper around the harness due to a bad connection and she's working like she's supposed to. Also went ahead and moved the ignition switch to the dash. Now i just have to get used to turning the key up there rather than behind me on the remote control.

I almost decided not to hook the neutral safety switch up, but figured what the hell, its open why not? I kept getting crushed wires in between the halves of the box, that's my main reason for relocating the ignition.
Hopefully i can put her in the water tomorrow and run a six gallon tank of gas/oil and seafoam through the engine at full throttle. Plus i want to see how my tach is working now.
