Kinda excited and bummed at the same time. Just brought home a 1988 Bayliner Capri that has an outboard Force 125. Model 1251X8C. PO said all was good and he had just run it a few days ago. Yeah, right! Turned the key over and the starter did not crank. Spent a half hour tracing down all the wires from the starter to the battery and down to the starter switch. I found the following:
1. Kill switch is open circuit regardless of button position
2. Round plastic case mounted next to ignition switch (backside of dash) with two leads had only the orange wire connected. The black wire had broken free. No clue as to what this dashpot does?
3. Neutral switch on engine block is NO switch and is closed (0 ohms) when throttle is in neutral position.
I really would like to walk through all the electronics on this thing while I have the time. Does anyone have a quality (good print/images) wiring diagram for this boat/motor combo?
Thanks,
Aaron
