It is a 1993 evinrude 30hp model # E30EETA when I turn is key all it does is chrip then nothing. I jump it and it started, so that would mean that my solinoid is bad. anna

If I understand the problem, it could be the ignition (start) switch, the neutral switch, the starter solenoid, or a bad connection.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

The place to start is to make sure that you have a fully charged battery.

akillian,The high pitch chirp noise is likely a weak tone from your control box giving the initial alarm circuit confirmation signal when the key is turned on.Insure that your engine grounds are clean and tight.

You can test solenoid by jumping from the large continuous 12 v cable on inlet side of solenoid to the small ignition terminal of solenoid and see if the starter engages.Be carefull around flywheel when performing this test.
