I have been lurking here a while now. Very cool site! 8)
Got the fever bad this spring and I bought a 2002 Crestliner 1754 with a 50HP Yamaha 2-stroke. The motor runs good but does not choke with the key push.
I can pull the cowling, manually swing the choke, turn the key and it starts right up. I turn the choke off, let it run a few minutes and it runs fine the rest of the day. I don't usually need the choke after that since the motor never completely cools off.
I would like to troubleshoot the problem but don't know where the solenoid is mounted or whether there is a solenoid in place. I looked at it a few minutes ago and saw something with a blue and pink wire running to it that was located adjacent to the choke mechanism.
I have multimeters and can troubleshoot electrical but don't know what I'm looking for here.
Should I buy a repair manual, and if so, can you please recommend a good one? Or does anyone know where the solenoid is located along with wire colors,etc that I can use to figure out whether there is a wiring problem, a fuse, or a solenoid problem?
