Re: mercruiser inboard ignition wiring
First...
When i attempt to start the boat it will turn over but it sounds like the starter keeps trying to start the boat and it then chokes and dies. I am thinking the starter wired as it is, is what is causing this. although, in addition it does not feel like it has a off, on, start type switch. It only feels like it has an off and start. (it does not feel like the swich pops back into the on/run position).
We burned the flywheel up in the starter trying to figure this all out before. We just had it rebuilt and replaced. Don't wanna have to rebuild it again. any ideas on this??
Second...
I think the ignition switch curently in place is a sierra 4 prong switch, at least it looks like it. The dash does have a accessories togle switch.
Just in case the switch does not have a on/run position, which is odd in itself.
Can a three prong ignition switch be used in place of the four prong ignition?
if so where will the fourth wire go??
THANKS AGAIN!!
