Jump the 2 big wires on the solenoid. If the starter takes off, replace the
solenoid. If not you can have the starter rebuilt.

om...
i have a 115 merc outboard that apears to have a starter locked up.
any way to be sure without removing starter?. i charged the battery,
and all i get is a click at the silonid. the starter is not spinning?
can i jump the two connections on the starter?. are these starters
rebuildable? any help would be nice. thanks, koz
