I have a 72 100hp Evinrude. (with a Yohnson single lever hydromatic remote control). When I turn the ignition switch, there is complete silence (however, the choke does engage the butterflies). I was going to start the diagnostic testing at the ignition switch. What tests (and results) should I expect before going on to the starter solenoid? If the switch is bad, what test can be done on the solenoid?
Also, I know I need to replace the battery (I will use my truck battery for tests). What specs should I look for in a new battery? Should I get a marine battery instead of an automotive one? Why?
Thanks for any and all advice!
