Evinrude 85hp Electrical Issue

[mark_hannah2002]

Ok, after running my motor for about 20 minutes then stopping it and restarting, then running for about 30 minutes, I got back to the dock, turned the key off and then went to restart. Nothing at all on the engine was working, no clicking of the starter selenoid, not even the auto choke would cycle. My trim works, so i have eliminated the battery. Even if its the starter selenoid, shouldnt the auto choke work? Do the key ignitions ever burn out? Prior to turning off the key the motor was running with no issue. I dont think it would be the power pack, but it could be the safety switch too? Im at a loss

I would start checking the electrical system with a volt meter or test light. you have lost voltage some where. What is the year of your engine, model number?

The throttle position switch that keeps engine from starting out of idle position could be out of adjustment.
