I did change the lower unit oil and greased some nipples

If there's fuel left in the tank, put stabilizer in it or when you start the engine next spring, you'll be pumping crappy fuel into the engine causing other issues...
I don't like Stabil, either Gas Shok, or K100 I've found to work very well...Scott

It does say stabilizer on the spec sheet.
I use it, but not as a stabilizer.
I don't know how well it works as a stabilizer....
I put a teaspoon or two into the top end of any engine that's getting put up (for some time) as well as setting the piston at TDC (single cylinder-to keep outside, moist air from the combustion chamber)Scott

Not sure which wire your referring to but if the ground to the starter (block) is bad, yes that'd cause issues..
The battery negative cable usually bolts right to the block directly. Unless there's corrosion, (PULL, CLEAN, INSPECT if you haven't already) the block and starter should be grounded fine...
You can ground the starter (black jumper cable), then positive to the lug of the starter and see if the stater works..
Good for the stabilizer but DRAIN THE VST FULLY. Really no reason to leave fuel in it...
Did you look at the parts fisch, under electrical, for any ground straps you may be missing?
And as 99 Yam mentioned, I was referring to the connecting rod/ crankshaft bearings in the engine that extra oil would be good...Scott

The wire's are 14-12 gauge. 1 is below the junction on the starboard side the other is on the bottom port water jacket . I did remove the plugs and sprayed in conditioner . Will position the the pistons to top dead center today. I took the starter apart and gave it a cleaning . The guy who rebuilt the motor said that there was only 65 hours on the motor I am the 2nd owner and put at least 20-30 hours on it could the starter have gone bad from such little use ? Here's a good lesson for every one on importance of warming up engine properly . The first owner didn't warm it and gave it full throttle scuffing one cylinder and damaging the rings

Good chance the key switch, the wire from switch to start relay, or the start relay itself has a problem not the starter.
Not warming the motor and scuffing a piston is speculation on someones part, not proven fact.
It is best to get all parts of motor up to temp so that all metal has expanded to where it should be before showering down on the throttle,but I am not sure it would scuff a piston/cylinder.
my bet would be on overheat/lean running.
Does anyone know what motor is even being talked about?
Hard to get all pistons to TDC for storage if it has more that one

And I doubt the starter failed in 100 hours...
It should work when hot wired DIRECT...Last edited by TownsendsFJR1300; 10-27-2017, 11:47 AM.Scott
