Evinrude 100293R s/n J06532 - Starting Problem

[jharris@netrover.com]

I have a problem with this motor, when I put it in the water it always starts up fine. However after running it and then stopping it will not start up again. I have been trying to pinpoint the problem, and this week-end I believe I have detertmine the cause. On the throtle arm there is a small swithch that engages when moved to 'start' I pulled the wire off this switch, grounded it, and what you know it turned over and started. There appears to be a fine adjustment on this switch I tried moving the switch forward, but it would move enough to engage. Is my problem with this switch and all I should have to do is replace it?

You are saying at first that the engine will not start, then later you're speaking of the electric starter solenoid ground safety switch.<br /><br />There is a difference between "won't start" and "won't crank over". I believe that you are actually having a problem with the electric starter cranking the engine over.... but when it does, the engine starts and runs.<br /><br />If this is the case, and you can't adjust anything to have the switch/circuit engage, it may require replacing.
