Check it for spark first. That there is one TOUGH SOB!!!! It's the same basic engine as my 140. Not bad on fuel either when the carbs are right.

Re: Skools or anyone Motor help!

Re: Skools or anyone Motor help!
 

1987 Great same as my 175 is, which means I have the Clymer book for it.

But I am sure I am going to get morer help then the book offers right here!

first thing make sure you don't have a lanyard on the dash somewhere cause that will do this to your motor lets them turn over but no fire.

Re: Skools or anyone Motor help!
 

No lanyard ;)

Re: Skools or anyone Motor help!
 

Ah excellent thought...check the obvious. That's where us men normally screw up. For instance have you ever lost your hat only to find it on your stinkin head? :o

Re: Skools or anyone Motor help!
 

follow the harness from the red plug at the motor and when you see the yellow/black wire plug into the brains unplug it on both and then test the motor with the plugs out to see if you have fire on the motor. don't start it with the wire unplugged or it can't be cut off

grab the big feeder wire from the controller andsee what you have on it to connect to the motor. if no red plug i think you found the problem then.
