Yes it is a lot.
About the engine stopping when the key is turned off. This is odd. I am not really familiar with outboards but these symptoms would seem to indicate an electrical charging problem. When running is the battery charging or are the engine's electrics being supplied by the battery? Check the voltage on the battery when the engine is stopped and when running. When stopped it could be between 11 and 14 volts (not usually as high at 14 though unless only just fully charged). When running the engine should be charging the battery and the voltage should be close to 14 volts. If not it is not charging you key being switched to off must be removing the only power (the battery) from the engine which is probably only for the sparks. |
