Hi, I just dropped this engine on the boat this year. Started right up a 1/2 dozen times in past two weeks, getting it ready for the season.I had this problem late last season but it went away so I thought. I have a new solenoid I also have to old one that works, I just replaced it, looking coreded! The wires have been checked and the fuse is good and replaced. Today it won't start via the key. Just dead silence.Choke works! I did what always works I jumped the starter from bottom battery wire dirctly to the starter and it stars right up. This is what ussally fixes the whole problem. I turn it off and it normally starts with the key.<br />But today because I was putting it in for the season noway it just don't want to do a thing! And of coarse its 37 degrees today because I am off work,it was 80 degrees yesterday!The only thing I can think of left to do is go back to the key switch its 2 years old? Is there a test for the solenoid I can do?<br />steve
