Hi,
This is my first post here, I have relied on this site for years and should have started posting earlier! I am having issues with my 50hp EFI mercury 4 stroke. Initially, the issue was that when running the battery would lose charge, firstly starting by key, then after an hour or so needing to be pull started and a few hours after that no longer running at all.
Now even with a new battery, it won't start so I think we have an issue with the starter. The frustrating thing is that even with a fully charged battery we are unable to pull start it now, which means there is another issue somewhere but I am not sure what it could be. To make things worse, not having a working starter means each time we try to fix something we have to attempt to pull start it to see if it works which I'm sure you can imagine is getting pretty tiring!
Any ideas would be massively appreciated!
