So the alarm was still going after 3hours?
Yes you can just cut the killwires and use choke to kill it at the control box

Cool, when you disconnect the red plug, you eliminate the kill circuit towards the key. Then turning the motor over by jumping the solenoid may cause it to resume generating spark. As in a bad key switch.
The first step in any 'no spark" testing is to disconnect the harness and re-try. You do that by disconnecting the big red plug on this model.

^this would work too, I see

Great so first thing I will do is disconnect the red plug under the cover and Jump the starter with a pair of pliers and see if spark returns. If so then the most probable cause is a bad key switch ? thanks guys. I am hoping to get this back within the next week ( weather here is a bit horrible at the moment )

So looking at this pic ( borrowed of google ) which contacts do I join together ?

thanks.

put 12v onto the second terminal above the red cable below your finger

Exactly, just touch it and it should activate the solenoid

Re: Need Help e90Tlcro - Broken down Moored out at sea.

Actually no.
You need to get the 12V going into the solenoid from the battery.
So still the red but maybe not the green

Terminal A is questionable....is it the battery connection or the lead to the starter?
Terminal D is also questionable...is it the battery connection or the lead to the starter?
Terminal B is the starter solenoid pick wire that is normally colored yellow/red.
Terminal C is ground (appears to be).

If using the pliers, terminal A to terminal D if jumping with heavy pliers or equivalent.
If using the second method, jump terminal B to terminal A. If no response, jump terminal B to terminal D. One of these "jumps" will work, the other will do nothing.

Very hard to tell you without being there. That guy's hand is in the way....

But if you leave terminal C alone, you won't hurt anything.

That big red cable from the starter and its terminal wont have any 12v on it until the solenoid activates.
You want to get the 12v from the other big +ve terminal on the solenoid which the +ve battery cable is attached too.
I cant quite see it in that photo

Re: Need Help e90Tlcro - Broken down Moored out at sea.

Looks like the battery terminal is there in the photo at A where Daselbee has it shown. A to B should start it

To use the choke turn the solenoid switch on it manually, and close once it starts.
What i do when i am not using a control box is that i sort out two switches. One in a wire between A and B to start it and then another from A to the primer solenoid to operate the choke. It makes starting a breeze
