Greetings all,
I have a 1990 100hp GT Johnson outboard that I am trying to get started. It started ok this time last year until the lake went down and I couldn't use it. I have gotten it started a few days ago, although for a brief time, because it was revving so high, I turned the idle lever down and it died. Since then, I have put in new gas(there was still some from last year) new spark plugs, and a new battery. I think the battery may be the problem now, because I wired it wrong. I switched it back as soon as I could, but I havn't been able to get any response when I turn the key. Should I check some fuses? Which ones should I check first? Could I have caused some damage to the electrical system? It was wired wrong for about 10 minutes. I felt some wires getting hot, so that is when I discovered my mistake.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Jim
