This weekend while out on the water I turned off my engine and when I went to start it again there was nothing. I used a jump wire to bypass the solenoid and the starter motor kicked over and got me going. My concern, before I just assume that the solenoid is shot, is that the choke would not activate when I pushed the key in on the ignition. Could the ignition switch have gone bad or does the choke activate through the solenoid in addition to the starter? Thanks for any wisdom.
