- Twin 7.4L Mercruisers with Hurth transmissions
I've got a 7.5KW Quicksilver genny in my 1989 340EC. The generator was running perfect when I winterized it last year.
When I went to install the battery this year starter is turning without the bendix drive engaging as soon as I attach the battery cables. For some reason I'm getting power to the starter without engaging either the remote switch or the one on the unit itself. I've disconnected the wires to both switches to eliminate one of those as the issue and still had the same problem. The starter turns without the drive popping up and engaging the flywheel.
The only things I can think of at this point are the starter solenoid or something on the control board that's causing voltage to make it to the starter.
Has anyone had a similar issue or have any advice as to how to move forward?
Thanks in advance.
