Hi,
1986 Bayliner Capri: 125 HP Force Engine 1254X6B
Starting after a 5 yr nap.
Disconnected the fuel line and disconnected most of the electrical; horns/bilge anciallary items etc...
Removed all the plugs and squirted a bit of WD in all 4 cylinders.
Tried the key, CLICK... nothing. - I had to disconnect from the battery and reconnect to try again (almost like a blown fuse or something)
CLICK again.. ok something screwy...
Jumped over the solenoid and went straight to the starter. The starter cranked the flywheel just fine.
However, putting the spark plugs in and it will not perform the job. It will crank maybe 1/10th of a turn. Then stop.
For Hypothetical reasons I would like to ASSUME the starter is fine because...
I took the starter off, dissambled, checked the brushes, all good. the magnet is still nice and strong. Running the starter on my work best and it rotates just as it should.
Attaching back to the outboard it cranks just as should (without plugs)
Put the plugs back in and NO GO.
Tried with TWO brand new marine batteries. So it's Not a dead battery
I don't have a pull rope, but I don't have gas line connected anyway I'm just starting with square one and trying to get the flywheel to spin with the plugs in.
I assume the solenoid is bad since it won't move the starter even with the plugs out
Please I'd be interested to know in those who figured out something NOT electrical or starter based that caused them this issue.
I read through one article where the gentlemen used a healthy dose of penetrating oil..
Suggestions?
