02 Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke with electric push button start.
Problem began when I accidentally pulled the kill switch while running one time. It began intermittently starting via the push button, had to jump the solenoid often (no pull start). Replaced the solenoid thinking it would solve it. No dice, next the starter hung up and burned out while messing with it. Put a new starter on. Same deal. Replaced the push button starter. Same deal. Bypassed the neutral safety switch. Same deal.
Still starts immediately when the solenoid is jumped. Will occasionally try to crank or will even fire right up with the push button, sometimes ten times in a row, sometimes never.
I haven't put a multimeter to the wires yet to try to find a bad wire, but is there anything else that I should check before tracing wires or replacing all of them? I reckon it's possible the new solenoid or push button is bad (used yamaha OEM parts).
Thanks in advance for everyone's insight and thoughts.
