Newbie to the boat world! (jetskis are my money pit of choice)
Sister bought an 89 Bayliner w the Force 125. Confirmed motor is also an 89.
I know no history of the boat other than what was told to me via 3rd party. Previous owner of the boat used all summer without any problems, last time they took it out, it wouldn't start. New plugs & plug wires, one magnet was loose so it was fixed, they bypassed the safety lanyard kill switch as a test. Still no fire. They were told needed "coil packs".
Now I don't know (yet) know the workings of this motor (got Clymer Force Outboard Shop Manual on the way) but seems funny to me both coil packs crap out at the same time.
I am wondering how many safety switches, lanyard, neutral, motor tilt, etc there are on this motor and is there an easy way to bypass all of them in one shot to make sure its not a defective switch killing the spark.
I have cruised around iboats for some time last night checking various posts, sorry if this has been answered.
o' curious one,
