Need some help with my OB Evinrude 65 . Decided to get the boat ready for the season. tried to start it today, and all Im getting is the click from the Solenoid (which I replaced last year) . thought it might be the battery, so I bought a new one..nope,just a click. ok, pulled the starter off, and tested it straight to the battery and it works. so Im a little puzzled. new battery, solenoids workin, but the starter doesnt when its all hooked up... not sure what else it could possibly be.
also, just to point out, I have never been able to find the safety switch on this thing..theres no lanyard, no switch of any kind other than the key/throttle/choke lever. everything worked fine last year. so, being able to check that is also a puzzle,since theres not one. and, even if there was...doesnt the motor still turn over,just no fire if the safety is pulled?
