[QUOTE="jalockwood, post: 354622, member: 13522"] to answer your question I did in fact fill from the bottom but im not sure that 1 or 2 oz drained out before I put the plugs in I just filled then capped the top then removed my pump and replaced the bottom plug. with that being said, on the wiring I believe I can make a separate ground wire but im not sure if the internals on the control box felt the heat so to speak lol. I think Im going to run the engine at idle on the muffs this weekend and see if I have any signal for my tach at the harness and also do some ground investigation to see if I can wire things back the way I mentioned. ground should be a ground no two ways about it, its not a load carrying wire so hopefully it all ties back to the powerhead and I can do what I want without replacing the control box. my problem is that yes I do have the separate plug so that the engine harness itself can detach but the harness that feeds from the control box to the engine harness routes under the starter and is a very tight fit. from what ive read power head removal may be necessary to remove the starter....thus removing the wiring I just havnt had time to fully research the issue at this point. its always something isn't it?? haha [/QUOTE]
