I was thinking of doing this, but instead of cutting the lip like that drill a few holes in that corner piece to let water through. Don't know if it would be enough to make a difference though.
Hey i know this thread is old but i had the same issue. Scared the s*** out of me. If anyone has this problem put your choke all the way on that will kill it or covering your air intake will work too. Also putting your fuel nob to the off position wouldn't hurt. hope this helps!! and if you...
It could have been a combination of dirty connections and weak battery. The first thing i did was clean them but maybe not good enough. Underneath the shrink wrap was rusted especially down at the starter. Also i assumed the battery was good since i jump started it got the same "click" and...
Got it running finally!!! Turns out after some trial an error the starter turned out ok, the solenoid tested good and all the battery cables tested good after taking off shrink wrap at cable ends and cleaning all corrosion off. Also lots of wd-40!! Thanks everyone for the help!!!
Ok so i'm getting no resistance on starter/ground cables, good. So now I'm taking another look at the solenoid. I pulled it and tested the M6 terminals and i'm getting 4.1 ohms with no power applied?? Is this good or bad?? It's been forever since i used a meter!! a little lost..
Ya i ride in salt water. How much of PITA is it to get to the bendix?? I thought i had the problem narrowed down to the starter BUT just threw in a brand spankin new one and guess what, SAME exact problem??? The solenoid clicks every time i try and start that's all...
Nice setup! I've been looking into picking up one of those handle poles from PLD on pwctoday.com but it won't let me pm him??? Is there anyway you have his phone #/ email or something?? The same pole on this site is nice but a little more pricey.. Please help!! need to get back on the water!!
Ya i've been working on it the past few days rain or shine. I even took out the elec box to see if water got in somehow and fried it but no the stuff in there was bone dry looks brand new.. Do you know a good place to buy a starter from, decent price??
I cleaned all connections to the box, battery, and starter, all are snug. I added a second ground just in case and tried jumping solenoid and got nothing. I know the battery is good even tried jumping with my truck and got the same "Clicking" sound so looks like the starter.
