Tilt trim switch wiring

[NJboatdude]

Try using a jumper wire from the solenoid to the choke as jerry suggested. Did your previous motor have a keyed choke? Make sure your key switch has push to choke and the wire or terminal from that should connect to the green wire coming out of the engine or engine harness.

My key did work I got it wired up right now but it just won't kick in. It will if I give it a little help by hand while my wife is pushing the key.

Check all connections all seem well

Ok so I finally got to out the boat I. The water today. The boat will not get on plane and only goes about 15 mph. Not sure what my issues are now. Any help or suggestions

If it works a little? then loosen the screws and take it apart and clean the choke. Then reinstall and adjust.

Will do I'm gonna will try that tonight. I'm gonna take the carbs off and clean them after work. Will do the choke at same time. Found a hole in the diaphragm on fuel pump. So I'm waiting on it to come in. Thanks for advice

 

[jerryjerry05]

I'm really hoping that fixes my problem. The prop looks good on it. Runs great out of the water on ears and in a bucket

Be patient and listen to Jerryjerry05; he knows these engines. He helped me with mine. Keep in mind he cannot see what you’re looking at so being as descriptive as possible is key to getting the best advise. When you finally do dial it in …great feeling and the knowledge gained…priceless!

I've done alot of car mechanic. So I've get the concept some what. This is my second boat. My boat had no issues. This boat was a complete rebuild new floors interior new moter so it has been a challenge but all in all it has been fun.

I’ve got some spare parts floating around so if you’re hitting a wall-reach out and I may have it lol

 

[Poormansboating]

Will do same here buddy

 

[Poormansboating]

Knock on wood lol So far I haven't had to much trouble finding parts for either of the two forces I've had although people say you can't find parts for them. My problem is paying for them. Got a pay to play though.
