    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    By 'marine' I mean the one that has the cover on it so it makes use of the water seal. 3.99 + 4.68 shipping :-D

    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to find the starter relay, and it was bad. Tried it with an automotive relay and fired right up! And ya, not GL5 but 5.0 GL. @ESGWheel thanks for all that! Proper marine relay on order. Oh, and I have a good used marine starter available for cheap ;-)

    Thanks for the reply :) Yes, everything is clean and tight, and appropriate marine starter installed. For the MM test, I should put the + on the main + terminal, correct (as in, not one of the 2 smaller wires)?

    I'm at wit's end. The engine was starting then immediately dying, then I figured out the safety lanyard was off the little clip. I put it back on (after I had checked fuses & the only relay I could find - by the fuel pump), but now the starter won't turn over & no clicking, etc.. It bench...
