Hey Guys-

The kill switch on my 1992 Bayliner Capri with the 4.3L on it was preventing the motor from starting even when I jumped the wires. I took the switch off and connected the wires together and it still didn't start. I even jiggled wires up under the dash and that didn't work. Then, for who knows what reason, I tried again 30 seconds later and the boat started.

What might cause this? Where do the wires from the kill switch go? The fuel is fine, batteries are fine, and when it finally started it ran great.

Your troubleshooting eliminated the kill switch as the problem. Look elsewhere. The sticky threads at the top of this forum have manuals that contain the wiring diagrams and troubleshooting guides.
