Re: 1996 75hp force
Nothing?
Does the starter crank and spin the flywheel?
Does the power tilt work?
If the starter does not engage, check all wiring from battery to solenoid, to starter.
If the flywheel spins, I would start by checking For spark.
If you don't have spark, check the kill switch/safety lanyard.
Check the main fuse located on the board near the coils and rectifier.
Is the shifter in neutral?
Usually the ignition system on those 75 hp motors is pretty solid, unusual for it to just die.
If the flywheel spins, and you have spark:
Remove the sparkplugs and examine them, is there fuel on them? Are the cylinders flooded?
Have you tried starting the motor after letting it sit for a day or two?
I know, lots of questions, but have to narrow it down to wiring issue, ignition issue, fuel delivery issue, or engine compression issue.
