T&T question

1989 Mariner 150 MagII.<br />Uncovered boat today to get it ready for the big trade and went to raise the engine and all I get is clicking from the 2 solenoids on the back of the engine.<br /><br />Worked good when I parked it last fall.<br />Could the cold weather have something to do with it?

Re: T&T question

Some time the brushs will stick over a storage season, I have tapped the motor on the pump and knocked them loose but use care as some motor are cerarmic magnets and you could damage the motor

Yea I tapped a little, did not want to tear anything else up.<br />Started snowing again so had to cover it back up.<br />Will put the heater to it tomorrow and see if that helps any.<br /><br />Thanks

Re: T&T question

SBN, have someone keep the solonoid engaged while you tap the motor that may help also--Bob

Re: T&T question

Well, I heated it some and could hear the motor running and it finally started working so I tilted it all the way up and checked and it was low on fluid so I filled it up and worked it some and re-checked it and was still full and it is working ok now.<br /><br />Just hope it works tomorrow. <br /><br />Again, thanks.
