Hello.
I have a 1978 140hp Johnson outboard and most of the times it will start fine, however sometimes when I turn the key it will not do anything, not click, nothing but all the other electronics are working, and it may do this for a while, then all of a sudden it will work again. When it doesn't work you can jump the solenoid and it will start. I have also test the ignition switch with a test light and that seems to be fine and the solenoid does to, so what else could it be l, I've bypassed the neutral safety switch to so it can't be that. Having trouble now.
Thanks
Jake
