I just put the new engine back into the boat for the second time and am trying to get all the wiring hooked back up . I am working at the starter and began to hook up the yellow with the orange stripe to the small back terminal and it never seemed to tighten up , just spun when I got it on the stud about a quarter inch. Tried to back it out and got the same treatment , it just spins the post and not the nut.
Looks like I will have to drop the starter to get the wire loose and address the problem. My question is , what is the post of what would be the letter " B " on the wiring schematic , hooked to ? By the post spinning is the solenoid now trashed ? It
Is brand new and if I can salvage it then that is great. This is one of the new type that is Marine specific and kind of a gold color and half the size of a normal starter . I'm not at all sure that the solenoid can be changed on this one.
Any one out there who knows ??
I forgot to say that this is on a 1988 5.7 .
