    New problem

    To close out, there was a ground wire loose at the front bottom of the engine. Re-connected it properly and shazam.

    New problem

    Just got my 225 promax running great after swapping out a pooched starter. Out fishing, running great. Stopped for a few casts, turn key, engine fires up and then stops instantly. Only started twice after that, but both times died instantly. Thereafter cranking did absolutely nothing. I...

    So, there seems to be voltage getting through from battery cable to top post on solenoid and then to bottom post of solenoid and then over to the starter from the bottom post. I measured by keeping one pen point on the positive end of the battery cable where it attaches to the top post of the...

    I'm actually not sure if it's the starter or the solenoid that is clicking cause I'm by myself at the cottage. I did see the starter gear move up slightly on one click, then nothin. Gonna do the voltage drop test tomorrow! Thanks Guys

    So, she's not seized. The flywheel turns so easily if i was back in my fightin days i could get her on plane with my hands. Put a fully charged battery to it again and again I just get a single click. Any ideas? Nick, you up yet?

    I don't see how the engine could be seized. It was run hard, then idled through a no wake zone for about a quarter mile and then sort of slowly coughed and then stopped. I did re start the first time, then same thing. I would have thought I'd blow a piston or whatever at a high speed and I'd...

    My 1996 225 Promax was running absolutely perfect. Then, this past weekend, as I was forward idling, the engine just quit. I managed to restart it once, then it quit again. From that point on, when I turn the key, I get one single click at the starter, and that is it. I've tried 5 different...

    225 Promax - rough idle and no warm start

    I've got a test lead coming in to let me look at the voltages. I like the idea of the temp sensor being whacked. It is like it is on full choke all the time, as though the ECM is being told cold start all the time. Where and what does the temp sensor look like? would a DDT help with any of...
