100hp Johnson Javlin 1979 - clicks on cold start?
You have it right....
-W wrote in message Great info and many thanks! My plan of attack (cheapest to expensive): 1) Check all electrical connections to the solenoid, charge battery, check all connections under the transom and tighten any thing that looks loose...etc., wd-40 (dry) the connections, if failure then 2. 2) WD-40 the starter motor shaft and pinion gear; inspect for burrs or wear, if clean of burrs and shaft well oiled, if failure then 3. 3) take out old solenoid and check the plunger / file - make sure the contacts are clean - replace and test, if failure then 4. 4) replace the solinoid; swap out old one with new one ($36.00usd), if failure then 5. 5) replace with refurbished (Johnson) bosch or prestolite starter motor (approx $160.00usd for the refurbished part/ $225usd new) , if failure then 6. 6) throw hands up; trailer the boat to the shop, at any point this get's fixed - see you out on the lake fishin and water skiing! I'll update when figured out. I'll keep the rec.boats updated on the fix (may take a couple of weeks). Bon Voyage and off to work on the 15' Crestliner (that boat jumps out of the water with that 100hp Johonson on the back) I go - thanks everyone; this one is nipped in the bud! |
