I have a 1989 85hp Force outboard. Recently when trying to start the motor I get not even a clicking sound at the selenoid. I am able to jump the starter with a screwdriver though and get the motor started. After the motor is started if I want to shut it off it does work at the key in doing so. My electronic choke which works off the key as well is not working at all either. I decided to start tracking the problem at the starter selenoid and work back to the ignition switch but the selenoid has just the two main positive cables but no other wires on the S or I posts. Can that be right? Is there anything else I should check that could save me time? <br /><br />Thanks For The Help,<br /><br />LM
