[QUOTE="TOTONKA, post: 46598, member: 753"] Looks like a nice rig. Mind sharing what ya gave for it? I say the motor is/was tiller drive, but there was a control box screwed to the side... I hope for safety sake you will either fix the tiller throttle or go to a console steering setup. I had a mercury 1150 and I know how problematic that old wiring can be. The insulation is usually turning to powder and any exposed wiring is green. Here is the wiring diagram I found for an old Merc. 800 Maybe it will help. [url]https://www.maxrules.com/oldmercs/Wiring/1966ona/31.jpg[/url] If the motor is electric start and the polarity was ever reversed, that may be one of MANY reasons why it doesn't start. Then you would want to swap out the ignition module and coil with a CDI ignition $250 and change out the voltage regulator for a bridge wave rectifier <$5 (radioshack). Check out the iboats forum for stuff about your motor, it helped me alot. That's what I had to do... [/QUOTE]
