Hey all
I have a 1996 seaswirl omc penta cobra 5.0 FL engine. When I turn the key, the starter will not engage. I do hear the slave(?) solenoid clicking when I turn the key.
I have found that if I connect a remote jumper on the left starter solenoid post to the battery ground and engage the remote jumper, the key will engage the starter as expected.
I'm at a loss for what this means and what I need to do for a permanent fix. I have looked at the repair manual but I am having trouble understanding it. I have attached pictures of the set up.
Any assistance is appreciated.
