Hello I'm having a problem with one of my 470's I have a 87 Thompson with twin 470's
my right motor starts no problem the left one will not start right now, for the last 4 week's I had to move the motor past it high compression then I could turn the key
and it would start. The battery lead from the switch was melted so I replace it.
that didn't help, made shore the batteries totally charged. now I lost. all ground cleaned
and replaced. now what? any help???????

So the issue is cranking?

If you know for a fact the battery and cables are good, my next bet would be the starter.

Could pull it and have it tested.
