Making jumper wires for Amphenol connectors on Johnson??

[QuintinC]

Hi all,
New to posting to the forum, but have read so much useful advice here - so, fingers crossed…
I have a 2000 Johnson 50hp with ignition issues. Following workshop manual diagnosis procedure, I need to make some jumper wires for the pins / sockets in the Amphenol connectors around the power pack.
So my questions…
1. Does anyone know the Amphenol spec (not the Johnson spec) for the pins/sockets? Or an equivalent that would do?
2. Does anyone know where these can be purchased in the UK - I guess I need at least 5 of each? I’m thinking of a general auto / electrical connectors supplier, rather than a marine supplier
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you can't find an automotive source , try Farnell ( UK ) or RS Components .

Thanks for the quick response! The RS Components site looks promising. Some Amphenol possibles there - circular pins, at least.

Anyone know which is the right Amphenol connector?

Just posting this in case anyone else has this problem - I searched through pages and pages of different Amphenol connections on-line, bought precision calipers, checked the size of the pins/sockets on an old Amphenol male/female I have - found that no modern connections appear to be the right size.

The calipers did it though. The Johnson connectors seem to be about 2mm - and I found 10 2mm banana plug male/female connectors plus heat shrink for £6 on e-bay - far cheaper than the Amphenol connectors from e.g. RS, once postage added.

I’ll be making up the jumper wires this weekend and using in anger to diagnose my ignition problems.
