I hooked up a new solinoid and a after market push button ignition switch it fried my battery I checked every thing I just have 4 gauge battery cable no harness when I hook up to the battery with out the ignition switch I can connect completly but with the ignition switch hooked up the battery terminal sparks a lot what could cause this the switch,bad ground or something else I have no idea

So I bought a new solinoid and hooked it up just like the last one the new solinoid is a sierra 12v for Johnson outboards well it fried my battery and I mean fried it like melted the lead on the termanal of the negative post what went wrong the odd thing is I put in a 10 amp fuse and the push button ignition is a 15 amp ignition switch I was so mad I pulled most of the electrical out and left the starter hope it didn't fry any other electronics can any one help

I have a 1973 Johnson 25hp and I just replaced the impeller and now the motor will only shift into reverse and neutral is the coupler not all the way together or is the clutch out of sync now please help can't wait to hear your answer

I have a 1973 Johnson 25hp with electric start I replaced ignition switch but still have no power but if I touch the negative post of solinoid with the ground wire it runs the starter is there something wrong here do I need a new solinoid please help every thing is wired up right
