Re: [OMC-Boats] Tilt not working on 1967 Sportsman 120

Dan, Nothing is moving. The only thing I hear is the solenoid clicking. After re-reading what I wrote, I meant to say the drive isn't tilting. I'll try pulling out what appears to be the motor and cleaning it out.

Blower checks out ok but the tilt isn't working. I can hear a clicking in the rear when I flip the switch, but the engine isn't tilting. From researching a bit it seems the tilt is controlled by a solenoid. How do I track down the problem? Is it possible that the solenoid is bad even though it is clicking? Bad contacts perhaps? > >Right now I'm waiting for a second set of hands so I can figure out where the solenoid is located. > ________________________________ _______________________________________________ >OMC-Boats mailing list >OMC-Boats@...imate.com >http://lists.ultimate.com/mailman/listinfo/omc-boats >
