    It's probably the battery. Don't use the charger, under-volting is hard on everything. Get a meter if you don't have one. Have fun.

    Hopefully you have put some oil in your cylinders and I would test this with your spark plugs out. You should keep your spark plugs hooked to your wires and ground them out otherwise you could ruin your coils.

    Could be connections. How many volts does your battery have? And how many volts does the starter side of the solenoid have when you jump it. To make a good test of the starter, hook up jumper cables to the hot side of the battery and starter, then the neg. Side of the battery then touch a...

    If that doesn't work I can tell you how to test your starter. Jump cables makes it easy.

    Jump the main incoming hot to the one coming from the harness. That powers the solenoid. If the soloniod does not click then its bad. Check that and report.

    Soloniod has 4 connections. Two big ones that I see are hooked up. Of the two smaller connections there should be one that you are jumping to and then the other one goes to ground. Check to see if you are grounded or put a jumper on it and test again.

    Yes, negative goes to the block and the positive goes to the soloniod. You should already have a wire going from the soloniod to the starter. Post pictures of what you have.

    Engine block thread damage question

    I have a different opinion here. I would go pay a visit to the prior owner and feel him out. Try and see if he knew or acts suspicious. Demand your money or take him to small class court. If you didn't pay much then whatever.

    The OP is still using the vro so I don't think he'd want to do that.

    Check engine alarm

    Two audio alarms, constant is overheat, noncontinuous is oil/fuel. If it's the second alarm (beep, beep, beep) try pumping your primer ball. (Bad fuel pump) By the way, in the barrel you can test for the alarm but don't take it up to 3500 or more, bad for the motor. The above test will have...

    Evinrude 25202r no spark

    Since you ran it twice you also may have rubber pieces stuck up in your head plugging up passage ways. Pray when you open the pump you don't having missing parts.

    When you tested it in the bucket with the gearcase off the motor the water was hot? That makes no sense.

    Lower unit oil

    If you still have it see if it's separates. Probably needs pressure testing. Might want to wait until spring if you can't pull the lower and get it into a heated space.

    Unless you can get those numbers up and more even, then it will need a re-build. Whether it's worth it to you or not, I can not answer that.
