Default Re: 5hp outboard starting problem

Hi- If it's any help, I used to have a 120hp Force that I had serious problems with. Most of the starting problems stemmed from a faulty negative ground on the starter. It might not be the case with a 5hp, but if there are any electrical connections that you can look at, do it.
Good luck.
