Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

Hi,   If the soleonid moves but motor does not turn it may well be the solenoid itself, assuming all high amperage connexions are clean and tight . When this happens and a screwdriver between the 2 + posts make it work  then it is the connexion between the 2 posts inside the solenoid. beware of

Re: Stus-List Starter or wire connection

Bo As stated earlier, corrosion is our enemy. You state that you usually need to turn the key a couple of times - not familiar with your model, mine has a key that simply turns on the ignition circuit and a push button that energizes the starter solenoid. Yanmar keys are very poor pieces of engine

Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

I had the same problem about 5 years ago! After 40 or so years, it’s usually corrosion on terminals or untined original wiring! Check and clean the ground connection (usually on one of the transmission casing bolts on the back of the gearbox). After all these years, it may be prudent to change o

Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

I agree, clean the terminals first, it’s worked for me on cars a couple times. A lot easier than replacing starter motors if it works. Tom S Usually corrosion is the culprit. Clean the terminals on the starter wires. On Fri, Jul 3, 2020, 14:22 General Gao via CnC-List wrote: Hi eve

Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

Is it a Yanmar? If so, try running a temporary dedicated wire from the "I" connection on the ignition switch or the positive side of the starter button to the solenoid. If it starts strongly, make the wire permanent bypassing the harness near the engine. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandevill

Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

Hitting electric motors often results in broken magnets inside the motor and then more problems. I would pull the starter and have it bench tested. Likely you will find some crunchy/corroded wiring in the process. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this

Re: Stus-List starter or wire connection

Get a second person to help. While they are attempting to start, you can be down below giving the starter a love tap with a heavy implement. If it starts then you probably need to rebuild the starter. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Fri, Jul 3, 2020, 14:22 General Gao via

Stus-List starter or wire connection

Hi everyone, I usually have to turn the key a few times for the starter to actually rotate. I can hear the solenoid clicking even when the starter does not turn. Would this indicate it is just a wire or connector issue? Or a starter issue? Or if further investigation needed, what should be looked

If the terminals on your starter solenoid are easily accessible a hand held switch like this with a couple of alligator clips and a few feet of wire would work well. http://www.vetco.net/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=10984&osCsid=t1h0qv9lp0843n8nhkltoav8j1 http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.

Hi Mike, This happens to me a few times each year. I will try to start with the switch up to 3 times before I go looking. Most times it starts on the second or third attempt. FTC (failure to crank) is most often resolved by wiggling the connections on the fuse at the back of the head. A coup

Re: Stus-List Starter

Everything everyone else said is good. My 2 cents: sometimes a tiny break in a wire or contact will prevent current from flowing, but after a few seconds of power the wire heats up from the resistance and expands enough to close the circuit. Wire does get old. Wal _
