"I have a Force 150 HP outboar
"I have a Force 150 HP outboard. It had not been fired up in about 8 years when I bought it. I had flushed and filled all the fluids and replaced batteries. I had it running for about five minutes and then it just shut off. I tried to refire but the starter starter to smoke. I went ahead and replaced the selinoid and starter, and cleaned all wire connections; but now I can't even get the starter to turn. I have checked all the wiring for continuity from the ignition to the starter (to include the battery), and all seems well. The only things i haven't checked are the thermostat, the warning system, and the stator (which I don't think will have anything to do with the starter not turning). Anyone have some ideas own't else I can look at to remedy this. I have scoured Seloc manual. Thank you."
