The button you push to initiate the electric start went to Davy Jone's locker last Sunday. The tube that the starter button was attached to is still present. Interestingly enough with the button missing the starter motor fires when in neutral (luckily it turns off when in forward or reverse so I simulate neutral by throttling down).

Anyone have a line on a good place to find a replacement part?

It was a bad day for things overboard last weekend (starter button, hat, bumper (must be floating around somewhere), fishing pole, necklace, bungee cords).

Try Seaway Marine in Seattle, they carry parts for older outboards. When I still had the old 2 stroke Evinrude I ordered parts from them. Sorry I don't have their number handy. They ship.

Tom,
I bought one of those for my 86 Johnson.
Did not need it because the problem turned out to be the wire leading to it.
Speaking of wires, the replacemnet has only terminals.
As I recall I paid about $45 ...
You can have it for $20 ... I pay the postage.
Let me know if you think you might be interesed

Bill

Do you have a picture you could post of the part so I can try to at least to guess if we are talking about the same thing?

Tom,
I don't seeme to be too handy with posting photos here. I will try.
Your best bet is to stop by an Auto Parts store and check their rack of repair manuals ... perhaps a good marine repair store would have a copy of the Clymer manual that covers the engine. (I gave mine to the guy that bought the boat). It's title is Johnson/Evinrude and it covers a range of years and hp ratings that include our motors. The only thing different about the two brands is the color of the case.

As I recall repairing mine, it was not hard to get to. But it is easier if the motor is in your workshop. (The gargae floor won't swallow the pieces.)
Disconnect the battery
Undo the nut on the barrel ... *** SAVE THIS NUT.***
Slide the switch to the right
Undo the wire keeper on the right
Cut the old switch away, as close to the caluk as you can.
Strip 1/4 ' of the insulation off of each with.
Crimp on a new terminal lug and solder it in place.
Attach the two wires to their terminals (Screws locally procured)
Slid on the heat shrink tube and worm it up with a hair dryer.
Load the cavity that this creats with silicone caulk.
Let it firm up and reinstall the switch in it original location.

Send me you address and I'll mail you the switch.
Use bjaworowski@erac.com ... or call 314-512-2048.
