Re: 1989 125 Force Outboard Wiring Burnt
Hey Frank,,,,,,,,,,Hey Guys,,,,,,,,,,,
GREAT NEWS!!!!
I took the Starter up to Auto Zone and had them check it out. The first test they did it shot sparks. FAILED! They told me to take it out to this local shop that rebuilds Starters,Alt,etc. The guy out there ask how long it had been since it was started and I told him I jumped it the other day and it started spinning but now nothing but sparks. He spun the shaft a couple of times and said "I bet if you took this apart and cleaned and oiled it ,,,,,,,,,,,it would be fine".
So I went out to my truck, took it apart and clean it with some stuff he gave me,,,,,,,,,,,,,after fighting with them 4 Brushes at the bottom, I had it back together and went back inside his shop. I told him what I did and he gave it a good shot of oil and told me to let it set about 10 minutes.
After waiting a bit,,,,,,,,he put the Starter on his test machine and it PASS!
I took it home and reinstalled it,,,,,,,took the Battery off Charge and Hooked up everything. I also replaced that BURNT GROUND WIRE with a 10Gauge Black wire,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,took a min to look over everything,,,,,,,,,,drank a cup of coffee,,,,,,,,,,,climbed in the boat,,,,,,,,,,,,1st blew the horn and it worked,,,,,,,then reached down pushed the key in and the choke moved,,,,,,and then turned the key and she started turning over!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
I stuck a stick down in the fuel tank and there is about 4" of fuel in it. I need to go but a Fuel Bulb. I would like to pump that old fuel out. I have some Stabil and some Seafoam and Carb Cleaner.
Keep the tips coming guys,,,,,,,,,,,,Frank I would love to have your address and Phone# so I could send some Christmas Cash! Thank you so much my friend!!
