Hi all. My starboard engine would not start. This is a 350 small block Mercruiser with 2 barrel carb and tks choke system. I found the 20 amp engine harness fuse blown and the diode inoperative. The fuse and diode are replaced. Now the fuel pump is running even with the ignition key off. The engine now will start up, but won't shut off with the ignition key! The diode has to be removed th shut the engine off! I have checked over the engine wiring harness and tried to locate where the unwanted 12 volts are coming from, but am stumped. Has anyone had this in the past? Any tech suggestions are appreciated. Griff
