Hello,
I recently acquired a boat with this engine. When I first tried to start it, the ground wire would smoke. Also the starter was cranking very slowly. After a few attempts at starting it wouldn't crank at all anymore.
I took a multi meter to it and figured out there's only 9V given to the starter, and 12V given to the solenoid. Does this mean I need a new solenoid? Or could a fuse have blown? All the lights and pump still work on the boat
Thanks,
