Hello,
I am only getting a click when I turn the key on my mid 80's 4 Winns with 4.3 OMC Cobra. I read this post about electrical issues which says OMC has a different kind of slave solenoid, http://forums.iboats.com/forum/engi...hooting-your-engines-starting-system?t=167035
Is the OMC solenoid right next to the dip stick in the picture below? There are only 2 terminals (both appear to have 2 wires attached.) When I touch the test light to the back terminal it lights up and when I touch the front one and turn the key it does not light up. Does this mean my lsave solenoid is bad? If so, it looks like a real pain to loosen the bracket, any tips? Also, I tried jumping between the 2 terminals on the slave solenoid (if that is it) and turned the key and still only got a click.
