I have a 1986 Evinrude 175. I replaced the starter and took it out on the river. It ran about 20 minutes then stopped like I hit the kill switch. After sitting a few minutes it would start back. During the dead time, turning the key in the ignition wouldn't even turn the engine over. Once it started back up I idled in. This has happened on more than one outing and when I get it home it runs fine on the trailer. Now it won't turn over at all. I tested the solenoid thinking maybe it was bad. Plenty of juice at the top, none at the bottom. No juice on the top side post, even with the key in start. I changed the solenoid out and still have the same problem. No power going through. I have tried testing the ignition, but I really don't konw what I'm doing with it. Am I missing something? I have twin engines and the other one runs fine. I am duplicating the tests on each to see what the results are like on a working engine, but don't know what else to check and don't have a manual yet (on order though). Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
