DOes anyone know how to trouble shoot the Key Primer Choke. My boat only cold starts if I manually choke it, by turning the red lever on the motor over for a few seconds. If I do that it fires up everytime. I dont here a click when I push the key in and try to start it. I push the key in for 3-10seconds but I dont think it is working. Then I go to the red lever and bam, it fires up. How do I test the connections. or is it really broke.

disconnect the little plug going to the solenoid, the with a jumper wire for positive post on battery, touch the plug, if solenoid clicks the solenoid is ok. if it does not click, could just be the ground wire on the solenoid also.
