The fuel pump has a small saferty vent (pressure relief) on top. You need to either replace the pump or rebuild it as the faulty diaphram is allowing this fuel to escape and this is a serious FIRE hazard.
Sometimes you will see this vent routed back to the carb, but OMC boats never did this to the best of my knowledge.
You are very lucky you spotted this, before you had an explosion or fire.

Lee thanks, already redone my wiring with a harness I had in a spare outdrive. Took it for a run today in the lake and ran fine. What a relief. When it originally happened I thought I had broke a gear or shaft. Winded up as simple as the wiring, luckily!
While I have you, do you have any idea why on the top of my fuel pump, it is spitting gas from what looks like a vent hole? Is this normal or is something up? Thanks, ~Joey 1970 Surfer 210

Your model has the 5-connector plug at the remote control which permits the in-gear "safety" starter lock out which got added in 1969.
It's about as simplistic as this: (Light) Blue Forward -- (Light) Green Reverse
Any Questions?
Oh yeah, the return current path is case ground. Or "earth" as the Brits call it.
Picture worth a bout 1-k words? http://hhscott.com/evinrude/images/electric_shift.jpg
You'll probably want to acquire a new lower unit wiring harness assembly if they got cut up.
The insulation and connector integrity is important to reliability.
(One drawback of the design is to fail in neutral, not in gear.)

Anyone having any info on the wiring for 1970 Electromatic OMC 210hp outdrive off of my Johnson Surfer. I'm having to rebuild my lower unit and the wires in the lower unit were severed and hanging loose. I'm looking for a diagram that shows the wire schematic for my lower unit. Can anyone help? Thanks, ~Joey
