    check voltage at tach. if you have full voltage and the thing wont respond, switch the selectable switch around a bit (could have dirty contacts) contact Faria as to which series that is, then google the series. there may even be a decal with the faria part number

    running without the prop doesnt load the motor so that does nothing but glaze the rings. follow the procedure in the manual.
