Re: need help with 86 forces 50hp no start

On the motor that does not start with the key there is two things that may help.
First check the circuit breaker under the motor cowling to see if its tripped.
Second is check the neutral saftey switch which works with the throttle and gear linkage and is also under the cowling and next to the motor. It has a little white button usually and may need to be cleaned. Should be pressed in when in neutral.
