200xp won't turn over

[Walleye Man]

The cranking selinoid on my 1989 200xp makes the clicking noise followed by some "hissing" when I try to start it up. I have replace the selinoid and same thing. I have 12.8 volts coming into the selinoid, but don't get anything out when cranking. The switch lug(small one) shows about 5-8 vlots when under load(when trying to start). Should there be more juice coming from the switch to start activate this selinoid? <br /><br />Also I have jumped from the large constant power supply at the selinoid to the starter and get nothing as well. Different problem, yet I believe it should turn over when jumping over the selinoid. Correct?<br /><br />Thanks for any help you can provide!! This is frustrating.

In the FAQ section, there's an excellent article that covers this, "Outboard won't start ".
