[QUOTE="Fishamajig, post: 494802, member: 32204"] Tohatsu/Nissan/Mercury - Prime Starter - Choke System I am having trouble diagnosing the prime starter on a 2003 Tohatsu 9.9 The motor is set up with remote controls. In lieu of a conventional choke, the motor is engineered with a "Prime Starter" which is an electro-magnetic plunger. It serves as a fuel enrichment system. It's a white plastic electric component that sits atop carburetor. The issue: The system is not working. I replaced prime starter with new. Still not working. I can measure 7 volts coming to the prime starter while cranking. Motor starts and runs if you place your hand over the air intake, but just won't fire as designed. Question: How many volts are needed to energize the electomagnetic plunger? Anyone have any experience with this? [/QUOTE]
