My engines were removed from my boat for a few months over the winter as I had some transom work done. The engines were re-rigged after the transom repairs were complete and now one will crank, but will not start.
I confirmed I have spark. My problem is fuel. My fuel pump does not turn on when the key is turned. After testing with a power probe, my fuel pump is not receiving power. The fuse tests out. The main harness connection appears clean.
My thinking is that the problem was created in the re-rigging process and not much goes into that. The main harness, the battery leads, and the throttle and shift cables. Since the main harness and battery leads all appear fine, could the shift cables out of adjustment affect the neutral safety switch and cause this issue? I always thought the neutral safety switch prevented cranking all together, but I'm not totally sure how it functions--does the neutral safety switch it prevent fuel flow or spark or just prevent the starter from engaging?
