I Have a MCM 170 Mericruiser engine in a 1986 glasstream. It was turning over real slow with a new battery in it then it stopped and now I can't get it to turn over. The starter trys but won't turn the enging over.
 
"Hi,

I am no expert, remov

"Hi,

I am no expert, remove the spark plugs and try to turn over, (assuming its a fluid lock, this will allow excess fluids in the cylinders to escape), if no luck, then I think your starter motor needs a rebuild or replaced.

Why did you replace the battery, it may have not been the battery at fault, but the starter motor"
 
"When my motor did that it end

"When my motor did that it ended up being the starter. New battery just prolonged it. When I took the starter off it spun just fine. I did notice it got alittle hot though. You can take it to your local starter rebuilder (look in phone book) can test it for you, usually for free. Good luck!!"
