I need help! lost all power

[tds1774]

I have an 86 bayliner capri w/125 force, finally got it running, now my switch dosent work. I can turn it on and jump the solinoid it fires right up, have all dash lights. with the eng. off, turn the key and nothing. Im lost on this. i've looked the wiring harness over for fuse links, none. checked the fuses, all are good. connections were a little corroded, cleaned them but no help. was working fine while I was working on eng. when I got eng running I let it run for about 30 min on hose shut it off tried to start again and nothing.

another question I have is; are the little diaphrams (3) in the fuel pump replacable? do they come in fuel pump rebuild kit? I was able to get them out once, 1 was working good, the other 2 were hanging up, I worked with them a little and got them working, then they hung up again. took it apart again got them working again, but I cant get 1 back out. I dont want to damage it if its gonna be hard to be replaced. my fuel pump is the figure 8 looking type, sorry but htats the best way I know to describe it.

Make sure the throttle is in neutral. Also check the neutral safety switch located on the linkage. Follow the yellow wire from the starter solenoid. It goes to the neutral safety switch. The little white "button" on the switch should be pushed in by the cam on the linkage for it to start.

even with the eng in gear I should still have lights on the dash when the key is turned to the first position. apparently I have power to the coils, because it starts when I jump the solinoid with the key off the eng just spins. when I start the eng by jumping sol. I get power on everything. that is what has me confused. I'm gonna replace the switch to see if that helps. any other suggestions are appreciated

I suggest you only post the question one time, so you can keep track of the answers people post. Posting it 3 times doesn't help.

Re: I need help! lost all power

sorry about the multiple post. I wasnt sure which forum to post in so I went with the ones that have helped me before. I do check them all and reply to all. I have located the problem and I feel pretty stupid for not catching it the first time I looked. @ the bottom of the connection block is a 25amp trip circuit. pushed the button and alls good now. thanks to everyone for the advice
