I just acquired an old bass boat with a electric start 1978 Evinrude 35HP, model 35852R.
It has been sitting since 1997. The engine turns free by hand and has strong compression.
I pulled the plugs and oiled up the cylinder and let it sit a couple of days.
It did not come with a key for the ignition switch so I removed all the wires and taped them up.
No battery installed.
I pulled the plugs and grounded them good to check for spark.
I first turned it over by hand, no spark.
Next I spun it over with my cordless drill, no spark.
The wiring diagram I am using is for the 1982- 1984 Remote electric start. Is it the same as the 1978?
Where do I start? What is the procedure for checking the charge coil and stator, the power pack and coils?
The wiring diagram I am using is for the 1982- 1984 Remote electric start. Is it the same as the 1978?
Hope someone can help!
Thanks, Yarb
