Hi Camkev, If I were you I would first look for the part number here
http://www.crowleymarine.com/product_support/johnson_evinrude.cfm (http://www.crowleymarine.com/product_support/johnson_evinrude.cfm)
and then either search on ebay US or directly form a store.

A mechanic who works on Johnson is may well have one lying around for parts, and I would try some of the yards like Lonzu, Tecnomarine, and maybe even ask RLR in case they have an old one in their workshop

Tks Guys.

@Benri..i already contacted crawley marine.Waiting to collect the part from the meccanic tomorrow morning so i will know which part it is exactly.I already got stuff last year from crawley and they are very efficient.I wanted to get it from malta to speed things up but i think it's best to get it from abroad.Hope i will have it running for the alongu season ;)

 :) I found out what the fault was,it was the wire of the kill switch,it was touching another wire and no current was coming in to the engine.....we started the engine and everything is ok now.Hopefully by next week boat will be in the water..will give it a try out at sea for the first 2 days.If everything goes well will be in for the alungi competition next week.If i find some crew still available!!
