Re: 45hp chrysler need help!!!!

sounds like a bad connection ...next time you try it quickly touch the battery connections and earth and solenoid .if any are hot thats the problem...thick starter cables and a good battery are essential with these motors I have the 35hp....

Yep, double check your connections. Make sure they are clean and tight. Same for the battery connections and have a fully charged battery.. Switch the battery for a test as well.

Jump the Solenoid to bypass and see if the starter cranks. This will tell you if the solenoid is bad.

Not in Green bay... West of you.. Stevens Point.
