    1991 mercury tilt problems

    in my repair manual it shows that the black wire that is melted is supposed to be on the bolt not the small pole on the starter solenoid. nothing goes on second small pole according to the manual. i will be taking all solenoids off one at a time and cleaning them on bench grinder (wire wheel)...

    1991 mercury tilt problems

    heres a thought. : i noticed that my negative battery cable is running to the starter. not the solenoid ground. is this a cause of something? maybe the smaller black wire that melted? just watched a video of a guy hooking up his solenoid to his outboard and his negative is to the starter solenoid.

    1991 mercury tilt problems

    yes i know the round is starter solenoid. the white ones are trim. and for some reason i do not think those ground wires are supposed to be on live contacts? meaning the opposite pole from green and blue wires.? as i believe the same goes for starter solenoid? as the solenoids are grounded by...
