"I have a Bayliner Capri with
"I have a Bayliner Capri with a 1987 Force 85hp outboard motor. The problem that i have is that the motor will start just fine on dry land and the first few times in the water. But, after about 20-30 minutes of running around and shutting off the motor it will not fire up again. I can hear the choke click but the starter will not spin-up or engage. I tried replacing the starter solenoid but that has not fixed the problem. The only way i have been able to get it started is by bypassing the solenoid and connecting the battery directly to the starter and then it will fire up just fine. Anybody have any ideas of what’s wrong? Thanks."
