Happy Holidays everyone.<br /><br />I was hoping maybe someone could help me with this problem.<br /><br />I went down to my boat yesterday to move it from my slip to the dock to remove it for the winter.<br /><br />I tried to start the motor - the starter spinned a few times and then engaged and fired right up.<br /><br />I set the throttle on fast idle to warm it up and then backed it back down to neutral.<br /><br />It seemed to load up and then conked out.<br /><br />It does this sometimes until I get it moving and its generally fine.<br /><br />This time the motor would not restart.<br /><br />Just a 1 click and no starter engaging.<br /><br />I had a spare selenoid in my trunk and popped it in, cleaned all the connections and put a quick charge on the battery. Nothing..<br /><br />I tapped the starter with a wrench thinking it was dead and again Nothing.<br /><br />When you turn the key just one click and thats it.<br /><br />The starter doesn't spin, nor engage.<br /><br />Any ideas on what this could be?<br /><br />I am certain the throttle is in neutral and wiggled the throttle lever a few times. Nothing.<br /><br />Just a click and just my luck.
