Hey,
I’m getting desperate... and frustrated.
My 2015 Suzuki DF200A (that’s the four cylinder, four stroke) won’t start. I get the solenoid clicking, but the starter will not engage. I pulled and tested the starter and solenoid and was able to get both to test good with a battery, then I went and bought a used one off eBay and that starter acts just like my original.
Both relays (main and starter) test fine, but I replaced them as well with no good effect. All fuses appear intact.
I went through the electrical system and found several really dirty terminals and cleaned them. I’ve got 13V at the starter, a drop of about .2v (I have my battery charger plugged in and charging the boats batteries) from the batteries. When I engage the starter the voltage drops to about 10V and the starter will not engage, just the clicks of the solenoid.
What should I look for next?
Something in the start switch maybe?
Thanks for any ideas!
