  • Where do I connect the positive cable?

    New to me 40hp,but not sure where to connect the positive cable from the battery.Not sure of the year either as the sticker is missing,can I identify by any other means?

    I connected it to the starter relay,but nothing happens when I turn the key(just to bump the starter)12.4 volts at the connection,nothing at the other post when I turn the key to start........I get a clicking when I try the tilt switch,but thats all.

      I believe Boscoe99 has said there should be a sticker on the block close to starter with some serial # or something like that that might help.
      Post what you can find


      Bad connections or battery maybe.
      Have you monitored the voltage when you hit the starter or T&T?
