Re: No spark No Fire

I'm officially dumb founded and stump. I know I'm over looking something, replaced my nav light switch with one of this pretty light up ones (on off on) so I can hook up my all round light in one switch. All around works fine, no nav light. tested everything to test no light. WTF... Brand nav light took it off and tested it its fine, about to say F it and run new wires for it. But that will be to much like letting it bet me.

Next I found a lonely wire not hook to any thing, brownish in color, I traced it back to the shift controls. I felt it to the back it don't go to the kill switch I'm thinking the neutral safety. if so what power hooks to there. It has a sea ray factory replacement controls, no pop out, single action tilt / trim in the leaver. Would that keep it from starting?
cant get the controls out unless I take half the boat a part, not even the kill switch.

The standard colour for neutral safety switch wires is yellow with a red trace. Brown is usually an alarm wire.

Re: No spark No Fire

Looks like you have lots of sorting out to do up forward. If you want to get to the bottom of the engine (no spark) problem he's what I would do.

Disconnect the main harness connector (that the big 10 pin one that carries to the controls), connect a battery to the battery leads, and using a remote starter (just a press switch connected to the positive of the battery and the 'pick' on the starter solenoid (small yellow/red wire), crank the engine and see if you have spark. Make sure you have the plugs removed, if the engine starts you'll have no way of stopping it .

If you have spark, great... problem lays in the forward section. No spark, great, at least you've isolated it to the engine system, you can start the troubleshooting procedure without having to worry about it being forward....

Cheers,

Chris......

Re: No spark No Fire

Hot dame I gotter to run, all I did was talk the stop wires off, then I couldn't get it to stop. But man she peer like a kitten. I will be hitting the lake next week to test her out.

Said Hell with it and went to the lake today, and man can she run. Thanks for all you guys help. I believe the problem was the 2nd kill switch was hooked up wrong. But she runs like a top now.
