I have a 1992 Reinell with an OMC Cobra 5.0L. Getting it ready for the season and it and turns over and will stay on if I have the ignition switch in the start position. I can rev it up while holding the key in the start position but as soon as I let go of the key it'll die. I tried replacing the ignition switch and that didn't help.
After trying to find loose wires I finally decided to try starting from battery #2, which is about 5 years newer than #1. It started up and I was able to let go of the key but then it soon died and started having the same problem. So I added some gas and tried again and I still get the same problem. I haven't been able to keep it on without holding it in the start position since. It seems like a loose wire but any insight would be helpful.
Thanks
