My starter on my 1993 Force Outboard burned up. I replaced it and when I turn the ignition key I just hear a clicking sound. It's a 120 Force 4 cylinder.
The first thing I would do is to check the battery for a full charge, and that all connections are clean and tight.<br /><br />Not knowing circumstances of the starter failure, could it have over taxed the battery?
Second thing is to jumper the fat terminals on the solenoid with a jumper cable and see if it cranks. There's a good chance the solenoid contacts burnt up when you burnt up the starter.
Paul Moir is right. Soliniods are cheap, and cheaply built. You should replace it when you replace a starter.<br />I replace mine every 2 years just as prevenitive maintenace.
