Check battery and purchase a 25 doller ohm meter from Sears. Send that coil to JSS and get some plug wires in it. J/K

i have a 17pound West Marine seavolt AGM-19 sealed battery..
i think i saw somewear that AGM batterys need a special charger... does anyone know?

i havent charged this battery in 2 years, so it may be a low battery...

 

[Matt_E]

Eh...you should probably try a different battery as your VERY FIRST STEP!
Especially if you have 2 or 3 relays "fail" in a row.

:banghead:

if he bridged the solenoid with a screwdriver and the engine turned over, his battery is good in theory.

how well did the engine turn over while bridging the solenoid?

 

[Matt_E]

i install the relay, hook everything back up and hit the start button.. Click , click... but nothing turned.....

i jump the post on the relay and i can hear the starter turn for a fraction of a second.

go back and hit the start button, click, clikc, click, starter ingages for a fraction of a second, click, clikc, clikc, click, click,,, and never did get it to ingage agen..

I would at least try another battery.

i put a wetcelled batter on teh charger.. took teh agm battery to westmarina and they checked it out.. said it was like new. droped like .2volts in 2 years..lol

anyhow i'll let this other battery charge and i'll test it...

When i jumped the post, i dident hold it on ther long, sparks flying everywere, but it dident stay turning no longer than a quarter of a second.. just enoulf to hear it wind up and dye back down...

What brand starters should i be looking to buy?
are all yamaha starters teh same? is are they made for the 62t case
what am i looking for? thanks

 

[Matt_E]

You don't know that your starter is bad. Don't start throwing parts at an undiagnosed problem unless you got cash to waste.

 

[sflsurfrider]

slow down there......

first your relay(s), now your starter.....

if the start turns over when the relay is bridged, its not a bad starter. what happens when you bridge the relay now???

 

[DAG]

nothing has changed... still getting a clicking from noid and it allmost sounds if the starter is clicking...

i made a small 8.3mb video.. but dont know where to put it.... youtube takes to long...

dude, your pump or motor is locked up.

 

[Matt_E]

For one thing, when you jump the solenoid, don't **********foot around - stick that screwdriver/pliers/whatever on there - it'll only spark if you're not committed to it.

Take out the spark plugs and try to turn over the motor by hand (grab the coupler to turn).
See if you can spin it.

See, this is why you don't need more mods - you'll spend way more time wrenching than you do now, and even now's too much.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

yeah, engine or pump locked, or bendix flywheel in a cocklocked scenario.

I just know what it's like.

am i supost to fit my fat fingers down that 5/8'' hole? and push on the pistons?

EDIT:
coupler? as in driveshaft?

 

[Matt_E]

Yes. As in driveshaft. You know...the shaft leading from the engine to the hole in the bulkhead.

 

[michaelart]

no you take the spark plugs out to make it easier to turn the coupler....you may have a cover over yours if so remove it and try to turn it........yes the drive shaft.....if it does not turn or is difficult to turn......more than likely your pump or motor are frozen up......
