[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 391969, member: 7544"] I use to own a 75 model of that same engine and had the same problem with the harness insulation falling apart. I also tried to "rebuild" the harness but I found the wire was too corroded to be able to get solder to stick for splicing purposes. You'll be fine with another switch as long as it is the correct one for your setup. Are you saying that with the orange wire disconnected, there is 12v present at the lug where the orange wire connects to the switch? Since it comes out of the enclosed switch box, I really don't have any idea what voltage reading you would get from the orange wire with the motor running. [/QUOTE]
