Update below:
I have a 1994 Johnson 115hp model# ending in TLARC on a 1994 Javelin bass boat. The tach has never worked on the boat since I bought it 2 years ago but I used a tiny tach to confirm the boat was propped right so I have been troubleshooting the tach. This morning I put the gray tach harness lead to the yellow/gray on the terminal strip and started the motor and I got a tach signal-so I know I have needed a new regulator/rectifier which is on order from CDI. I switched the wires back on the terminal strip and the motor ran fine all day with multiple restarts throughout the day. When I went to trailer the boat-it wouldn't crank at the dock.
The battery is fully charged and is less than a year old. I have functioning tilt/trim, get the start up alarm bleep and can hear the primer solenoid activate when I turn the key, but the engine doesn't even attempt to crank. I have a factory service manual but am relatively new to outboards. Any advice on where I should begin to troubleshoot?
