My old Rude is giving me troubles again..
trying to start, it acks like the battery is low, turns about 1/2 way over and stops then 1/2 way again and stops. keeps doing this like the battery needs charged.
I have a fully charged battery along with hooking a 2nd one in parralel to increase the starting power.. no help.
I noticed the prop is turning while im trying to start it. the for,nue,rev switch is in Nuetral and the motor wont even try to start if its in for. or rev.
I did also notice that the throttle can be anywhere instead of in the start position. She has sat out of the water for 1 year, the lower unit was serviced about 4 yrs ago. I just got done replacing the throttle cable and double checked my self to make sure I didnt losin something up.. but who knows.
So, to sum it up, it seems to be in gear and I dont think it should be turning over while the trotal is full.
