This is a new to me '08 Honda 40 4 stroke with remote. I purchased the motor just before winter to put on my pontoon boat. I purchased the motor from a marine dealer in MN which is about 200 miles from me. The motor did come with a 50/50 warranty. I installed the motor on my pontoon and installed the wiring harness they provided. Cranked it over and no start. Check for spark and nothing. I have a wiring diagram but no shop manual. I checked for power at the ignition module (black/yellow) and have power. I check the stop input on the ignition module. This wire (black/red) will stop the motor if it receives a ground signal. No ground found. Also ohmed the the crank shaft signal wires and was 8.1 ohms and it did produce an AC voltage when the engine was cranks.
So does it look like a ignition module or is there something else I should be checking? Are the 40p prone to ignition module failures. I'd ate to drive 200 miles back to them to have it repaired.
