07-12-2009 11:42 AMThe white wire from the slave solenoid goes to the trannie. It grounds the solenoid when in neutral.
The brown/white wire is most often the trim gauge lead. It is also used for oil temp.
The R on the starter is for ignitions with points. R stands for resistor. Points ignition operate at about 8 volts the R offers 12 volts at cranking to aid in starting.

I'm just going to start titling all my threads "Hey Jim"
Thanks again, I left the shop happy last night after hearing engines crank over with the starter vs. going home pi$$ed with a wrech embedded in the side of the boat.
