I was wondering if anyone may have had this happen?
My twin 225's (2 strokes) sat for about a month. I went to run them and one started fine the others starter just clicked and would not spin over. Volt meter shows 12.5 and drops to 7.5-8 when key is turned when tested at starter.
Here is what I have done so far;
: Checked and cleaned all connections.
: Tested all batteries.
: Switched starters (not the problem)
: By-passed solenoid.
: Removed all plugs, engine spins very slowly and then dies out.
: Switched batteries.
: Tested power at positive solenoid. Tested solenoid with a load.
: Tested power at positive to starter disconnected. 12.5 volts.
: Jumper cables direct from batteries to starter. just clicks.
This is about the extent of my knowledge.
The only other possibility I could think of could be a bad cable somewhere under cockpit.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
VC
