Dan, here are some diagrams I found that you may be able to deduce your wiring from, they are not for a 1977 but the wiring could be close. My belief is the two yellow wires went to a neutral switch; every drawing I reviewed for whatever year and/or hp has a neutral switch in the start circuit. Where is your start switch mounted? Also, here is a color code chart: http://maxrules.com/fixomcwiringcodes.html

OK Dan, that tells us you do not have a neutral cut-out switch on the throttle control to prevent starting the engine while it's in gear. At this point I don't understand why the two yellow starter wires would have female connectors unless the went to a terminal block, or, in-line fuse block; but I don't know why they (the yellow wires) would. Generally speaking, there should be a main fuse (20 or 30 amp) in series with a red 10 AWG +12v wire coming from the main cranking battery to a terminal block, or secondary fuse block under the dash someplace; that block would feed power to the key switch, and other switches such as the running lights, horn, bilge pump, etc. There should also be a black 10 AWG -12v wire coming from the main cranking battery to a terminal block that is used as a ground point for the same devices. I did run across a wiring diagram for another motor that may offer a basic idea of the subject, I'll see if I can relocate it. Cheers

Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.' That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was In the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' No response. So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?' Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?' 'For F*$@ sake, Bert, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

OK, I'm looking for a wiring diagram; but so far all I'm getting is dead ends, they want you to buy their manuals, or the web site is a sucker trap. I'll also look for other years on either side of your's. Question: did you remove the wiring harness completely at both ends? And,, does/did it go into the throttle control? The two yellow wires could go to the neutral cut-out switch on the throttle control to prevent starting the engine while it's in gear.

It's good to see you've never hot-wired a car

What's the info on the engine? Manufacture: HP: SN:

Now that's a dream

No you old goat, that's not right, he's not climbing the ladder to LAMO. After passing up all the women and drink, he clearly wanted nothing more than to climb to success.

OMG, I was thinking this was a planed event and the people in the boats and helicopter were on-lookers. I pray for the soles of the lost.

No, she will proudly tell you she doesn't do windows, Microsoft or otherwise.... I have to repeatedly explain basic Windows functions to her, she even writes them down in here little book, but to no avail; this has been going on for over a decade and more. But!! she can get on ebay and Amazon and spend money?? So this is my Purgatory, repeatedly explaining basic Windows functions to her endlessly. Edit: P.S. This is a woman who's son is a Software Architect for Microsoft.

Oh, she had a smile on her face, joking in her own little way; she had a computer question cause she has never really learned to use Windows.

My wife came to me today and freely admitted that she was part of my Purgatory existence; the look on her face said "and there's nothing you can do about it".. What the H did I do in a previous life to deserve this??? And how long is it going to last??

My saddest heartbreak story is..... I got old... What a cruel world this is, you expend all your energy when your young and dumb; now that I'm in my golden years, if I were to chase after a good looking woman and caught her the only lip action I would get is when she gave me CPR.

The biggest problem is finding G rated jokes that don't offend someone, in some way. I was expecting to hear something about picking on Blonds. As for the children, I will not argue the point other than to say that they know more than we want to give them credit for. A friend who drives a school bus gets an ear full everyday, he says the kids are more active on the afternoon runs and the verbal harassment they inflect on each other is unbelievable. Now,,, Back to jokes..... While hiking down along the border this morning, I saw a Muslim extremist fall into the Rio Grande River. He was struggling to stay afloat because of all the guns and bombs he was carrying. Along with him was a Mexican who was also struggling to stay afloat because of the large backpack of drugs that was strapped to his back. If they didn't get help, they'd surely drown. Being a responsible Texan and abiding by the law to help those in distress, I informed the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Security. It is now 4 PM, both have drowned, and neither authority has responded. I'm starting to think I wasted two stamps.

If you look at the logs that came down with the mud their ends have been cut and they're branch less. I believe this was a planed safety release of a logjam of some kind.

RIVER WALK There's this blonde out for a walk. She comes to a river and sees another blonde on the opposite bank 'Yoo-hoo!' she shouts, 'How can I get to the other side?' The second blonde looks up the river then down the river and shouts back, 'You ARE on the other side.'

34,,,34,,,34,,,34,,,,,, Really, what a waste of good blond.....

I've watched this video several times over, and I have to ask, What's the rest of the story? True, the second boat was too close for comfort. But why was a news crew filming there and looking at that bank, and why is a helicopter flying overhead? It looks like the upper north west, was this a logging operation? With that said..... OMG, that's no way to add structure to a lake.

LOL, LOL,,,, Good one

I think you hit the nail on the head on both counts...... If your going to have them you need to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, ........

X2 Four targets within fifteen feet and he didn't drop them where they stood?

FLORIDA OR MOON Two blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking, and one blonde says to the other, 'Which do you think is farther away... Florida or the moon?' The other blonde turns and says 'Hellooooo...??? Can yu see Florida...?

LOL,LOL,LOL,,,, Ya, that's why I wouldn't want to be around when the s**t hits the fan. There's not much out on the water to stop stray rounds. This is really a useless subject to continue, I think I'll have some fun and go "be nice to" my wife.

Holly crap, where do you fish, the river in Baghdad? LOL....... But seriously, I don't think I want to fish around you.
