"New to this Forum and boating.

Have a Honda 4 stroke 90 hp and not sure what year but think it is between 1996-1998. Here is the problem.

When I go to start the motor after primeing the bulb it will not start. It sounds like it wants to turn over, but doesn't. Installed a new battery and still nothing. After several attempts (5-7 turns of key) the negative battery wire gets hot, so natural I stop everything. Any idea what the problem may be? I hope not the starter and if it is what is the difficulty in repairing it? I am somewhat mechanically inclined.

Thank You"

"I am not 100% sure how I would check for spark, but if you explain to me how I most likely can do it. I am going out this weekend and buy the Honda repair book so that I can try to figure out some problems myself, but I love getting help."
