Look for the starter relay. Your 4-cyl will have it in a different location than the referenced V8 below. If you find it, remove the relay and note the numbered marks on the relay spade lugs and compare the locations to the socket. Jumper the socket pins 30 and 87 and it should turn over. If so, then take the cover off of the relay and clean the points or just get a new relay: http://www.smwebhead.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15544 |

Before starting you should be using the neutral position that allows throttle control WITHOUT engaging the shift system (ie pull the handle out towards you or push in the button, however it works, those are the two different systems you may see). Pump the throttle all the way forward 3 times or so (this allows the choke to close all or most of the way and squirts some gas into the carb via the accelerator pump) Then set the throttle control at about 1/3 forward (still in the neutral position though) to set the fast idle. Boat carbs do not automatically set a fast idle like a auto carb will. Then crank it over with the starter. If your NSS switch is getting flaky there is no way around it, you have to pull out the control and replace it. I'd take a good look at the mounting of it on the side panel. They can be tricky to remove. And to get it far enough out to change that switch, you will have to disconnect the throttle and shift cables back on the engine... If you still have this problem after changing the NSS, then the possible trouble causes: battery cables ground cable attachment point at engine (clean not rusted) all three starter solenoid connections (those can get really rusty if the a water drain drips water on them) if there is an assist solenoid, same thing lastly, a rusty connection at the ignition switch (yellow/red wire) can cause this.... Ps if its only the NSS you are getting away cheap, a good throttle control is around $300 or so. I really doubt its the control, because the only thing that's related to starting on the control is the NSS. Sometimes the wires for the trim control wear through or break but that's a different problem (trim not working)... |

Thank you so much for your detailed response, I'll try starting the boat in your sequence and report back. |
