Hey all,
Engine will roll over but does not start!
Electric solenoid at governor this is not getting energized to stay in the run position….
No gauges on the dash as well..
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You are not getting battery power to your “ignition” circuit.

You ARE getting power to your “starter” and your “cranking” switch or button.

This is certainly an “electrical” problem of a corroded or loose wire or connection or a circuit breaker / fuse.

Do you have twin engines? If so get in there with a test light and compare the 2 systems to see where you are having the loss of power.

If single screw do the same thing with a test light and see where the “power” is interrupted.

update the thread with progress please…

the purpose of this forum is to help when you when you need it and to help others as an archived thread…

I checked and renewed the connections to the engine mounted circuit breakers.
Did not help…..
I’m not getting power to the engine run and shutdown solenoid at the governor.
Also no power to any of my gauges

Have you checked “engine mounted circuit breaker” and it’s connections?

Use the search function with me as author to see what it is and what it does.
