I never even saw a copper tube.. I saw a plastic tube there , I thought I’d had gone in the same way it came out. I went ahead and dropped off at a shop
Replaced impeller, gasket and impeller housing, threw it back together. Previously there was a small stream of water coming out, now I’ve got nothing. Motor is hot to the touch, can’t lay a finger on it for more than a second. Not sure where I screwed up
I need to tie a string to the shift linkage wires before pulling the lower unit, correct? Got the pump kit, first outboard I’ve owned with electric shift. How big of an ordeal does it become if the string breaks, or wires snag? @racerone
When I turn the key I hear nothing at all. I haven’t seen any switches. I will say this motor was up and running in 2001, fuel drained and sat since then. I’ve played around with different throttle positions, but no click at all.
If the voltage is changing at the solenoid when I hit the key, but it’s reading no power at the starter, the solenoid must be bad , correct? No response from key either. So I suppose I should start with a new solenoid and rebuild the starter. Then I can carry on with the shift/compression test...
I wandered if that may be the case. You’ve been here a long time, I’ve seen your post on some old threads involving this motor. Battery is brand new, going from battery to starter with jumper cables, but it’s turning over pretty slowly
No spark on all 3 cylinders, disconnected kill wire, same deal. Not sure where to go from here… just bought the boat, no response from ignition either but I see voltage change with key at the starter solenoid, so I assume bad solenoid there. Where should I check next for spark? I simply...
