Hello,
I am new to the forum 1st post but I am a frequent reader. I recently acquired a used 1998 15 hp Johnson Outboard Mod Number J15eecr. I cleaned the carb and she fires up nicely and purrs like a kitten with the pull start. When I tried the electric start absolutely nothing, I have looked up and down for the inline fuse holder and could not find one. I traced the wires all the way to the solenoid and starter and saw no inline fuse. This motor was obviously used and wasn't running when I got it so I don't know if I have parts missing or I am just overlooking it but it is driving me insane. I ran a jumper wire from the battery to the starter and it turns over fine. I would greatly appreciate any help. Pictures would be great! Thanks in advance!
