I have a 1969 Johnson V-115 outboard that I am having some issues with. I cannot get the starter to do anything when I turn the key. I have checked the wiring and it all seems to be fine. When I connect a wire from the starter terminal on the solinoid to the small terminal above it I can then get it to roll over with the key but only when I have that wire attached. I cannot get the motor to start though. I was told by my local marina that the solinoid on my 56 35 would work so I switched it out thinking that the solinoid was the issue but that did not work either?
Any ideas for what I could do next?
