Re: Help no starter

The fuse blew. It's an AGC-20 close to the solenoid in a black rubber inline holder. Or the neutral saftery switch is preventing it from operating, or you have a bad solenoid. But the choke not working too leads me to that fuse. Also check to make sure the main wiring harness connector is fully engaged.

Yes, Merc makes new controls that will work with your motor. Both with and without PT. Just visit your local dealer or search online. Your old cables will work with the new controllers
