My brothers 175 will not start at times, it cranks but won't start. Later, it fires right up normal. I checked switchbox voltages when it won't start and it has nothing going to coils, even if I disconnect kill terminal. I noticed he has a lube alert and idle stabilizer connected to his switchbox, unlike my 3 cyl 90. Could these prevent starting, or how do they work? Topping off battery charge seem to help. Stator and trigger voltage are normal during cranking.
