2003 yamaha F115 TLRC.
engine cranks on the first try everytime when its cold. After i run it for a few minutes... stop.... fish.... then go to crank it up it takes 3 or 4 tries before it will start. It only does it when the engine is warm. its sounds exactly like a weak battery, but the battery is brand new and has more then enough cranking amps. when i turn the key is sounds like the motor only turns a half turn and then stops. all the cables and grounds from the battery to engine are tight. Possibly the starter solenoid going bad???? the thing that gets me is that it is intermittent and only does it when the engine is warm. once it turns over it runs perfect, no smoke or anything. sounds to me like its only turning bearly, not enough to start the engine, or the starter disengages before the motor can fully turn. Please help.... the yamaha dealer here checked it out a few months ago and couldnt find anything wrong, which doesnt suprise me because i can crank it on a hose and it works. it has to be run for a while before it happens:![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
