Problem started a week ago , starter would not engage flywheel, battery was weak , boat has been idle since last fall, tried to charge batt and start engine but the starter quit turning all together , switch turned to start and nothing would happen, bought new battery had 12 volts to large red cable at solenoid and had 12 volts to small wire pulled off solenoid when switch engaged and 12 volts to other large post on solenoid. jump across the solenoid and starter would engage. I ordered and installed a new solenoid everything seemed ok outboard did not start , but switch and starter seemed to work fine I cranked a few times and I think I flooded the carbs tried to crank again and the starter would not turn off with the switch I had to pull the neg lead from the battery to stop the starter and now when I try to reconnect the neg lead , the starter starts turning and cranking the engine????
Bad starter?? thanks Judesson
