THANK YOU FOR 1000!!! LIKE the video guys! This video is my first 100K viewed video to date!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! If you're not a subscriber please consider doing so!!
Bro you are a life saver. There is no one on RUclips or Google to even explain this. Im new to outboards and have been stuck for months. Now im ready to get these motor running
awesome! you would be surprised how many people hate this video! lol comment if you get stuck on anything Ill walk you through it! Thanks for the love!
i for one am vary happy that you have dumb it down for us, it helps the low understanding state of me in understanding the core concepts of what is being studied. keep it stupid simple and you reap less inconveniences whilst retaining better repair-ability i do believe.
@@BlackoutBilll21 welcomes, thank you for the awesome simplification, it really helped me see what I did wrong when trying to connect a different model to a mower repair I was doing, the model isn't really incompatible, just needed to know what connections go where. your video was a big help on learning this, many thanks.
Want to Just Thank all New and current Subscribers!! We hit the 1000 Mark! Way More Videos and projects on the way! If you're not a subscriber please consider doing so!!! Cant wait to Finish All these projects with you all!!!
Bill I’ve not read all comments but you certainly want to run a #4 guage wire to starter from solenoid! The load is all from starter and need to carry all the current/amps from starter to battery. That little #12 wire will melt if it hasn’t. I really like that someone on RUclips is working on these 25-40hp vintage Johnson/Evinrudes! Good luck
This video was 100% EXACTLY what I needed. THANK YOU MAN. Keep up the good work don’t let these haters bring you down! I’m switching a pull start to a push start. And this was the advice I needed.
some motors you can turn the throttle down.. this motor you had to choke to kill but yeah a kill switch would be prefect! I have a video on installing a kill switch! Thanks for watching and commenting
I was been tapping power to my starter to start my motor up and starve it of gas to shut it off I've not seen many videos with the 4 terminal solenoids manly with the 1 terminal solenoids i have the 4 terminal solenoid
@@BlackoutBilll21 so this way im doing it now doesn't matter which solenoid i use or a relay would do the same thing as the solenoid does if i used a relay box
I didn't realize this video was years ago but it was good. Unfortunately we have RUclips cyberspace tough guys that want to start some shit lol it was a good video
I just bought a second 1956 30 hp Johnson with electric start my first one is 6 volt witch is what I like original but this one has a 12 volt but whoever did it put just black wires had to trace it down mark the end red and it has no connection where the gas hooked up to the motor just hoses put some fog oil in it pulled it over and it started I love it when that happens thanks for the videos
Is it possible to fix a push button start switch on a 52 cc petrol outboard motor which currently starts when you yank the cord. Please guide on how to do it and parts required. I am a total novice. I asked a few mechanics and they said it is a very big job with lot of modification
I really appreciated the video! I find wiring confusing at times! I needed an impeller for my motor so I ordered one on Amazon and while I was at it I ordered the same start button that you were using. Perfect! I placed the order and about a minute later I thought hmmmm...that's great but...how do I turn it off??? Care to make another video showing how to install a "Kill Switch?" Thanks
Im gonna use one of the cheap safety switch buttons for the button because its a button and i have them its gonna do the same as what those metal push buttons do that you and everyone else are using except for me
@@BlackoutBilll21 it worked but had to keep it pressed in to keep it turned off so im just touching the wire from the solenoid to the red post on the battery and i have a gas shut off valve on plus have to unplug the carburetor bowl solenoid so it doesn't drain the battery leaving it plugged in. It works though and idles i have to finish mounting the engine to the frame before hooking up the drive belt it would help me if i had the original wire harness to this 40h777 craftsman/briggs engine. The ignition solenoid is working as the key switch so i just have a red wire to start it up and the black wire to hold to the crankcase to shut it off so im gonna hook up a switch to the ground wire. I couldn't get the cheap muffler that came with the 40h777 engine to fit on so I'll have to cut it a little on either side of the hole then weld it on the pipes i know those type of mufflers come off of most single cylinder engines oh well
I have a 1955 25hp and by the choke there is a wire coming frome it that has been cut? There is also a wire that has been cut at the tiller where the fuel goes in? I wired it up like this and I still have nothing....
@@BlackoutBilll21 forget the idiot , lazy , and dumb_ss people out there with their BS opinion ! That's how I progress through higher education ..... repetition ! Awesome video ..... thanks !
Best video thanks so much. However, I'm the %1who still needs to clarify something. So I have a VW Bus Camper. There's a known problem with them where they suddenly won't start. Due to the fact that a wire from the ignition has to travel 15 feet to start the vehicle. That wire as it ages gets problematic. SO, they sell something called a hard start relay. When hooked up to the starter and battery and cylinoid you now eliminate the problem. However, some guys still add a push button start in the engine bay like you are showing. That said, I bought a button. Hooked up 2 wires to it. NOW, do I hook one wire to the cylinoid power and one to the main battery power of the starter OR can I just hook one wire to the battery and one to the cylinoid?. I'm overcomplicating it but can you just clarify the placement of the 2 wires of the button. ( 1 wire to the cylinoid power and one to the battery power on the starter?. ) Thanks.
Hey man no worries! I’m glad you commented! One power wire to the large stud that you have the battery connected to. The other wire to the small stud that does NOT have the ground wire attached
battery positive to big stud and one of the button start/switch wires, other big stud is the starter main wire. the one little stud is for ground to block, the other little stud is one of the switch / button wirers.
Ok well if you press the button to start you are sending current to the starter and the starter will continue to run until you switch it off but it does not shut the motor off.
@@travisj2695 this setup uses a button / “switch” that send voltage to the solenoid. Once you let go of the button the current stops sending voltage to the starter
which relay do you mean? I use a solenoid in the video and its hooked up to a button. Its not a key start. if you are trying to install a key start this is not your video lol Let me know what you mean Ill try to explain more!
I guess I'm a dummy like you 🤷 I appreciate you going into detail and simplifying the whole modification, some of us take a little longer to learn then others; myself included. I have a renix-era Jeep Cherokee and the wiring is all kinds of fuckery on it.. AMC used too thin of wiring gauge and it's coming back 31 years later to bite me in the ass. Your video (combined with an inline fuse holder and some wiring out of my parts bin) saved me $173. I ordered a SPST 50 amp switch for $6 shipped to my door, and I'll be solving the no-start issue with my Jeep for $173 less then I was quoted by a shop. For those who are curious: my Jeep relies on a physical rod engaging with the ignition switch when turning the key. The process you have to go through when installing a new ignition switch is so over-complicated that simply installing a starter-solenoid bypass is 10000 times more simple. Before I'd turn the key to acc, normal. Turn it to run, everything is working fine. But try and crank it and the rod wasn't engaging at the right point to start it. Tried bending/extending and even making the rod shorter (I know this is technically the long way around the problem) to no avail. No crank unless I shorted the solenoid on the starter. Now thanks to your video I don't have to pop my hood in the (soon to be) 20 degree Michigan weather to start my Jeep and get home from work!
I have to ty very much for your video it taught me how to hook up my push button start I'm so grateful for it, now I have another question with this hook up, is it possible to have the same start button a kill switch.
Terry Samora ... you probably shouldnt be doing anything to your car, if you think the push button will turn it off!!! you need to tie into your ignition electrical. And cut the 12v power going to your spark plugs. So when you turn it off, it just stops the spark.
Thanks this helps a bit.......... but doesn't that outboard have all the connections already coming from a wiring harness plug port... i believe my 58 18 seahorse does... i'll be diggin into over the next couple of days.
Hello Young men, you are swinging your camera so fast. And you also cover the starter with your hand. It's nice that you show how to connect the batteries. But I have a problem. follow what you show and which cable goes where. thanks
@@BlackoutBilll21 I asked the question wrong. What wire would I have to wire it to to kill the motor. And thanks so much for the reply man liked and subscribed and suffered through some ad ads for you
@@jessicahalfmann7218 you are awesome!! Don’t suffer through the ads though. Your like and sun and comment are enough!! Happy to help. Ok so if you want to install a kill switch you need to install a separate button. Same type with 2 prongs. Wire each wire to the points! It will ground the motor. I have a video of a single cylinder. It’s the same process but each wire goes to each set of points. I’ll make a video soon on how to do it!
I have a video on installing a kill switch!! or you can pull the choke to choke it out, or in this motors case, my set screw was low enough where I would throttle it down so low it would stall :)
Dude, by 'dumbing down' your process, you made this sound a THOUSAND times more complicated than it is. This video could have been one minute long with the same result.
Maybe you didn't need the extra help but it really helped me. Most videos just assume you know everything. I can't say I understood everything but I know more now than I did before.
Does anyone know how to illuminate a starter button. I have installed a new engine start button on my boat with led. So I've wired the poles on the switch 1=plus 2=switched live out to starter. 3=negative to light up the led. But if i connect the negative the led stays on. I only need the led to turn on when the ignition key has been turned on. To tell you ignition is on and press the button for the engine to start. Do i need to bring a switched live feed from the ignition key. Basically a positive feed is going into the switch from a live terminal. Thanks
I totally agree!! And thank you for being so respectful and honest!! This video was a long time ago and I’ve learned a lot since. Still your honesty and respectfulness is GREATLY appreciated 😃
I'm trying to rewire my lawn mower. I have basic knowledge at best. You're confusing the heck out of me. What switch you talking about ? I'm completely lost on the 2 small post on solenoid. On the big post I got one to battery the other to the starter. On small ones it don't matter which one I ground ,? The other goes to what switch ?
I hear ya!! ok so when i say switch i mean solenoid when I say button i mean the start button. you are correct on the 2 small posts. one small post you put a power wire from your start button to one small post. either one is fine. on the OTHER small post you put a ground wire to anything! hope that helps
found you at last still confusing but finally got it, most other directions on you tube lost me ,, if your not familiar with wireing diagrams it is totaly confusing for the layman , even yours took me an hour to write it all in a diagram thanks
you are jerking the camera way to much! the info was exactly what i was looking for but that camera jerking was making my head hurt :) mount the camera and mov e slower. again the info was great!
We are NOT trying to hook up a battery, we are not trying to hook up a starter....the title of this video is how to INSTALL THE BUTTON....is that right or wrong?? We read the title so are watching for THE BUTTON.
it technically says button start switch... but you're the only person who made this comment and was confused... if you really needed help installing the button itself than I'm sorry my clearly informed title mislead you but i suggest that the 4 minutes of your life this video wasted wasn't that big a deal to comment over but hey thanks again and please subscribe for more misleading titles!!
@@BlackoutBilll21 I wasn't CONFUSED...after watching at least 15 videos of people telling you how to wire the COMPLETE system you get a little pissed. WHY can't someone stand with a start button with two terminals on it in their hand and SAY, THIS TERMINAL GOES TO HERE and THIS TERMINAL GOES TO HERE....THIRTY SECONDS should cover it.
@@outboardfixer so YOU make a video then haha ....exactly. and guess what my friend... When i watch youtube videos on how to do stuff. I get tired of pausing and replaying the video over and over.

Berkner80 this makes my heart melt!! Thanks and I’m glad it helped!!
@@Berkner80 I have no idea how I missed you comment!! THANK YOu ROY!!!
Thank you from a fellow 99%er!!!
THANK YOU!!
Great video! Very helpful!
Joseph Brown thank you so much!! I’m getting conflicting opinions but I love the support either way lol
do you need to wire a kill switch as well?
You don’t have to! You can if you want but this motor you just pulled the choke to stall it
Does anyone know how to illuminate a starter button. I have installed a new engine start button on my boat with led. So I've wired the poles on the switch 1=plus 2=switched live out to starter. 3=negative to light up the led. But if i connect the negative the led stays on. I only need the led to turn on when the ignition key has been turned on. To tell you ignition is on and press the button for the engine to start. Do i need to bring a switched live feed from the ignition key. Basically a positive feed is going into the switch from a live terminal.
Thanks
I hope somone here can help you. I bad with electronics! I would check your wiring set up
@@BlackoutBilll21 np thanks 👍
great thanks helped allot
Happy it helped!!
Thanks!
You bet!
You are very good for making this video but flip me dude, you have turned a simple circuit into a very confusing explanation 😅
Lol yeah I hear ya!! Thanks for the comment and viewing though!!!
Hey so were do you connect the 2 prongs?
anywhere that the hood will still close on your motor!
Great video but I have to ask you to please set your camera up so it's not moving all over, I got lost trying to follow you
I totally agree!! And thank you for being so respectful and honest!! This video was a long time ago and I’ve learned a lot since. Still your honesty and respectfulness is GREATLY appreciated 😃
2wires from switch to solenoid leave battery cable alone. Keep it plain and simple!!!Use the choke to turn it off!!!
I like adding kill switches! lol but yes tried and true choke to kill! Thanks for commenting!!
Hi... maybe you can help me....I put the push button on my mower...but my starter gear won't pop up....???
starter faulty??
thank you needed this
Welcome!! Don’t forget to drop a sub!!
How do you kill it?
This motor you have to choke it to kill it. I have a video on how to install a kill switch but its not needed!
Why is everything a switch?
hahaha I was wondering the same thing!!! thanks for watching!!
Sweet
PAULIE FPV like candy!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
no no no!! THANK YOU!@@!!!
Where is your ground for your starter?
There is non/ the bolting of the starter to the bracket/ block is basically it
I know it's a bit late but that wire is massively undersized that's going to the starter pos.
all constructive comments are welcome!! lol Yes I believe someone mentioned that. Thanks again!
Fucking brilliant. We really appreciate you bro!
I APPRECIATE YOU!!!
Thank you!
no no no THANK YOU!!!!
I'm trying to rewire my lawn mower. I have basic knowledge at best. You're confusing the heck out of me. What switch you talking about ? I'm completely lost on the 2 small post on solenoid. On the big post I got one to battery the other to the starter. On small ones it don't matter which one I ground ,? The other goes to what switch ?
I hear ya!! ok so when i say switch i mean solenoid when I say button i mean the start button. you are correct on the 2 small posts. one small post you put a power wire from your start button to one small post. either one is fine. on the OTHER small post you put a ground wire to anything! hope that helps
It is supposed to be about THE STARTER BUTTON
it wasn't??? lol Are you upset cause i said start switch?? lol how can i clarify? How can I make your experience better?? oh don't forget to SUB UP!!
You're gonna burn that to the ground using that small of a wire on that number 2 stood to the starter
so I've been told!! hasn't happened yet though cause it starts up so quick!! but dually noted! thank you!!!
found you at last still confusing but finally got it, most other directions on you tube lost me ,, if your not familiar with wireing diagrams it is totaly confusing for the layman , even yours took me an hour to write it all in a diagram thanks
haha yeah man! glad it helped lol even a little!
you are jerking the camera way to much! the info was exactly what i was looking for but that camera jerking was making my head hurt :) mount the camera and mov e slower. again the info was great!
Yes I am working on my camera work!! Thanks for the input!!!
We are NOT trying to hook up a battery, we are not trying to hook up a starter....the title of this video is how to INSTALL THE BUTTON....is that right or wrong?? We read the title so are watching for THE BUTTON.
it technically says button start switch... but you're the only person who made this comment and was confused... if you really needed help installing the button itself than I'm sorry my clearly informed title mislead you but i suggest that the 4 minutes of your life this video wasted wasn't that big a deal to comment over but hey thanks again and please subscribe for more misleading titles!!
@@BlackoutBilll21 I wasn't CONFUSED...after watching at least 15 videos of people telling you how to wire the COMPLETE system you get a little pissed. WHY can't someone stand with a start button with two terminals on it in their hand and SAY, THIS TERMINAL GOES TO HERE and THIS TERMINAL GOES TO HERE....THIRTY SECONDS should cover it.
@@outboardfixer so YOU make a video then haha ....exactly. and guess what my friend... When i watch youtube videos on how to do stuff. I get tired of pausing and replaying the video over and over. My format for the video was to repeat it over and over so you could tackle the job in one take. But your negativity isn't welcome here anyway so thanks for the feedback but I have WAAAYY many more people who liked the video, than disliked
@@BlackoutBilll21 ROCK ON!
Mark Weaver NOW YOUR TALKING!! YEEAAAHHH BUDDY!!
to damn fast with camera and talking .
yes! Ive been getting better at that! thanks for the comment and watching!
Wire to starter ,from solenoid is too small , should be large like your main battery wire ..
Jo Ras thanks! I’ll check that
He's flirting with disaster there.
@@louissparks2496 S far so good! 1 year later lol fingers crossed
dont need that heavy wire to push button
Joe Scheller facts
you are a bit confusing and camera was everywhere, HOWEVER thank you for dumbing it down and simplifying it
KC M yes I know! The more I tried to simplify it the more worse I made it!!lol
This is the most complicated installation I've seen
I agree... but most found it helpful@!! Thanks for commenting!
WHAT!!! YOU LOST ME AT "I WANTED TO!!! JUST SO COMPLICATED!!!
Maegan Kafka hhaha yeah mixed reactions to this one but most are positive! Thanks for the comment and don’t forget to sub up!!!
why make it complicated just one wire small terminal to button, other wire to power on celenoid
Joe Scheller couldn’t find a selanoid that sold that someone. Plus find a you tube video that does it “simple” this is as simple as it gets
I did sub but you left me hanging✌✌✌✌
Lol I replied!!!
I'm getting seasick.
Hahaha yeah sorry about that! Hope it helped and thanks for watching and commenting!! I’ll send you some Dramamine! lol
You may have found a niche.
lol thank you!! its funny cause so many people hate this video and me!!
