As my Signature indicates I have a 240 DA but I am trying to help out a fellow dock neighbor with a 2000 310 DA w/5.7 EFI BIII's.
Last weekend all of a sudden his starboard engine would not start. We have been over all of the simple things like verifying the breaker and the key switch in the main DC panel and the battery connections and voltage. In addition the 50 AMP breaker on the starboard engine.
Here is where things get a little screwy. When we engage the Emergency Start Switch at the helm in conjunction with the start switch for the starboard side, the engine does not power up and will not crank. But, If we start the Port Side engine first, then try to start the Starboard side with the E-Start switch it will crank and start. But, when we let up on the E-Start switch the Starboard engine shuts down immediately.
I called MM today on the subject and they where not much help. This guy is a great old boy and I sure would like to help get him going again before the holiday weekend.
Any comments or suggestions on what rock to look under next would be greatly appreciated.
