[QUOTE="Sullemander, post: 416117, member: 21201"] Hey guys. At the beginning of the day today my motor would not crank or start. I spent the whole day tracking down the issue and narrowed it down to an electrical problem. After finding out which wire was causing the problem, I replaced it and reconnected everything and got it to crank! After trying to start it about 8 times, I gave up. To give you a little backstory on the motor, I purchased the boat (16 ft. 1987 Monark) about a month ago. When I purchased it, motor was running great. Then I immediately started gutting and stripping the boat, preparing for a paintjob. I removed the motor and leaned it up against my fence, upright and placed a tarp over it. That's where it has sat for the last month before I bolted it back onto my boat yesterday. What things should I check to try to narrow down the problem? Not too experienced with motors and doing work on them. Thanks so much for your help guys! [/QUOTE]
