hey, i have a mercury 115hp blue band mercury straight 6 2-stroke,
the motor will start fine but the starter motor stays on, it is not engaged to the fly wheel but is still cranking.
i disconnected the fuel so as that the motor wont start just to test what the starter is doing and it will crank when you flick key from acc to start but then will remain on when the key is back to acc, i had the motor serviced and the start solenoid replaced but the guy who done it just used a solenoid he had rolling around his ute my query is do they have to be pared or is a solenoid a solenoid, could the solenoid be sticking shut??? please help any thoughts?
