i have what i believe to be a 1990 evinrude 9.9hp(E10RELES). when i first tried starting this up this year it started first crank no problem. it hasn't started again since with the key. it will start if i jump the solenoid to either the starter or the ignition connections. it has a new starter and a new solenoid. the battery is charged as well and a new battery was also tried. when i turn the key to accessory the guages all work. when i turn the key all the way to start....the guages all go down and nothing else happens. i have also checked the small fuse on the motor and that was also ok. i am out of ideas. any help would really be appreciated.

If you get nothing when you turn the key, start by checking the voltage to the key switch. If you have voltage there, check it from the switch to the solenoid. It almost sounds like you have a bad ign switch.
