I just launched two days ago and have the following problem, my starboard engine will not crank no starter crank the port engine runs fine. I ran both engines on the hard and flushed the week before and both engines started fine.
Here are the specifics:
1989 2958 with OMC 5.0 V8 engines
Both batteries are good checked and cleanhed cables, batteries fully charger the port engine will crank ad the generator cranks and starts no problem
.
no water in the oil on the starboard engine, all clean
I pulled all of the plugs on the starboard engine as I thougt it may have water lock, and all of the plugs are good with no water
I also was able to turn over the engine with a wrench with plugs out
I also checked the 50 amp fuse
I did not check the 8 pin plug, but will also clean and check this plug
OMC has a engine starter solenoid before the starter solonied, I did not replace this yet.
I checked all connections on the starter soleniodand batteries, and grounds...all good
I am thinking I have a bad starter of bad soleniod before the starter, how can I test this without taking the starter out? Witht the set up on this boat you have to remove the manifold to get to the starter and it is a real job to get the starter out.
Any suggestions to replace or test the soleniod before the starter and test the starter would be very helpful
Thank You for your input..
