Looking at a 16' Baretta (sp?) today.
The total hours on the clock are 95. The boat is in poor shape hull-wise (floor is soft and transom has rot), but the motor and outdrive look good.
All the controls seem to work. The owner says he ran it last year, but only after a mechanic friend did something to a safety switch. The engine cranks fine, is getting fuel, but no fire.
Any OMC help here, with this? I'm not familiar at all with how this I/O is wired.
If there is a neutral safety switch in the remote, it appears to be working fine.
When I moved the throttle lever forward or reverse, the engine would not crank. Only in neutral position.
Is there some other limit switch elsewhere that needs to be actuated for fire to get to the engine?
Does the outdrive need to be lowered for the engine to fire?
