Jared, don't worry about the alternator, too difficult to bother with. Why is there no solonoid, you won't start it without one using the ignition switch wires. Do you have the heavy negative wire from the battery to the motor or to the chassis somewhere or are you doing this with jumper leads? So you can test the starter motor you then need the heavy positive wire connected to the battery and with care you put the other end onto the starter motor bolt with the nut on it so you don't damage the thread. It will spark but this will tell you if the starter will crank the motor over. If you hold the wire on tight with a pair of pliers , if everything else is correct with the motor it should start, then release the wire from the starter, but be aware that the end of the wire is live so make sure it doesn't touch the body of the motor. Starter solonoids easy to pick up off ebay, I will have a look around for you.Scrolling back another thing I have just noticed in post number 93660 your coil is on upside down and will not work like that. Kill switch wire goes on the bottom side There you go easy peasey I'm sure you are not in a hurry for it www.ebay.com.au/itm/Solonoid-Soleno...iner-40-HP-Outboard-Engine/153007688909?
