1990 90hp force outboard starter problems

[blaiseman7]

So I just bought a 90hp force and it ran fine until the last day at the lake we were anchored and just listening to music i went to start it and all it did was trunover and smelt like gas........so i changed all three spark plugs and tested the starter solenoid which was bad so im waiting for that to come, if thats not the issue anyideas on what else it could be.........oh put a new battery in it to!

Thanks
Blaise

Does it continue to do it? Then try to tighten it.A little more of a description would help.J

You mean you pull and push the handle and nothing happens?
Follow the cables to the motor and see if they just came off in there.
Maybe see if it revs when you move them manually on the engine itself.
