Gnasher Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Hey,I tried starting my old johnson 60hp this morning (usually a good runner), but wen I try and turning her over, I was just getting a clicking sound. Occasionally it would fire but mostly just clicking. The battery is fully charged. Would this be the starter motor? Quote
Coddy Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 Sounds like to solinoid clicking, this could be down to a poor connection somewhere on the starter circuit. If you disconnect the wire from the solinoid to starter motor see if you still get the clicking, if still clicking then I'd suspect the solinoid otherwise look at the starter motor. Could be as simple as a loose connection. Dave Quote
Gnasher Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Posted May 6, 2013 Cheers dave. I'l see if I can work out what is where and will give it a bash. Quote

Coddy Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Check battery terminals and in fact all connections are clean and tight Dave Quote
