Starter dont start !!!!
Guys !
i need your help! im good at many things but f#%k all in electricity.. so i was running and stopped my 500 efi... one would not start back. Like nothing, completely dead. No click , nothing... so i had a spare ignition, tested the new, did not work, so i put the original back then changed kill switch, nothing again so i put original back came back home limping next morning i try to start and it works ! so i changed the solenoid on the back top of engine. Today i went boating and started fine then i shut the engines off, and same would not start again since it was warm again...i put my gator clip jump starter on the changed solenoid, and starts fine no problem so where should i look next? Solenoid direct on starter? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e88c1ca6c.jpeg |
I’m not being facetious, make sure it’s in neutral. I’ve done this more than once.

already... no chance for that thanks! Need to find something else ! |
I'd try measuring the voltage at the starter solenoid where the wire from the key switch connects while turning key to "start". May be getting insufficient power from key switch.
|
Even if i already tried a new key switch?
|
Could it be as simple as the starter is getting old and is heat soaking (operates fine cold then inoperable when hot) - NOT as common in boats as cars from the muscle car era
|
Started to think that also
but if that is the case, why, even when still warm 1 min after not starting, it starts right up when jumping the solenoid on engine....??? |
What’s a gator clip jump starter ? And to witch solenoid wire or both ?

Also good to check eng grounding. Drawing out the start circuit may help troubleshoot. Do you have 2 solenoids for each eng? One on top of eng and one on starter?? |
Your picture is the slave solenoid. There is another one on top of starter.
