1990 Evinrude tiller handle question
I picked up a 1990 6hp Evinrude tiller the other day. The wiring for the kill switch was ripped out on both ends. I got the wire routed and connected to the motor end just fine. I cannot figure out how to take the tiller handle apart to connect that end of the wire.
Ive attached a picture of the handle, any help would be appreciated.

I have no idea how to take the handle apart, but I can tell you that a kill switch is a simple thing to wire. Several of my smaller outboards have them mounted in the front lower engine cowl. Rather than take a chance of breaking something expensive in the tiller handle why not just buy a new switch off eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Outboard-En...9XD2cl&vxp=mtr, drill the proper size hole in the cowling and install it. Sometimes we over-engineer things when just the simplest of solutions will do the job better.

If it's like my 4.5hp, look near the bottom of the actual twist handle and there will be 2 tabs you push in. This allows the handle to slide forward. Be carefull as there is rollers and a pin inside that connect thethrottle cable to the ramp mechanisms. Once the handle is apart, it just basically falls apart in your hands, so be ready to catch pieces.
