I picked up an older Blue Fin with a 55hp Johnson (55EL76E) formpretty darn cheap. Everything appears to be in great condition especially after sitting outside for 3+ years. I've got the motor to turn over (sounds healthy), but it won't start. I am going to rebuild the carbs because that's a must after sitting for so long and I want reliability in the long run. However, I noticed 2 wires that are disconnected that both have nut wear marks which looks like they were attached to comething but are now just laying in the engine compartment. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you guys think.
The first one if the black wire just above the red wire. And the second is the greasy white (red at the end) wire.
