I'm throwing one more hail mary to see if anyone can assess what the heck is going on with my setup.
2004 Honda 225 on a walkaround
Came home from a day of the boat running perfectly. The starter motor on the 225 was running when we got out of the pickup. We confirmed the boat ran fine and everything was working correctly.
I THOUGHT it was the ignition. I replaced it with a new ignition. It is the six pin Honda ignition.
I wired the new ignition in. The boat turned on and started for about 1 second. Now it won't start. I have tons of 'weird' issues such as beep alarm not resetting....beeping fast when the boat is turning over sometimes....sometimes a steady tone from the beeper. Just chaos. It doesn't seem consistent. The biggest problem now is it won't even start. I think I lost spark on the motor. I'm sure it has something to do with the ignition not telling the motor it's time to fire.
I am lost I have confirmed all connections behind the dash. I have greased every connector...checked fuses....confirmed the new ignition is wired right...etc. I just don't know where to go from here. I don't even know if a shop will look at it being 20 years old and electrical I have a feeling they will run away.
Any kind of help is appreciated. I am super stressed that I'm going to lose all fishing season and possibly not be able to resolve what the heck....
Thank you,
Rob
