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

Found them when my second set of hands got here. Had them hit the switch so I could track the solenoids down. They are at the top rear mounted to the engine block. I'm thinking that I can check the motor itself by running power straight to it. Only problem is figuring out what wires are what. I see 2 red wires going to something cylinder in shape on the bottom of the engine compartment just next to the drive. Then I see a green and a yellow wire going out through the drive section and don't know where they end. ________________________________ From: Andy Perakes <aperakes@...penwest.com> To: Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's <omc-boats@...> Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 10:57:08 PM Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] Tilt not working on 1967 Sportsman 120 I'm not sure about the 120, but on my 155, the solenoids are on the top rear of the engine compartment.  I can't remember if they mount to the stern drive housing or the engine block, but there's not a lot of real estate and they should be easy to find either way if they're in the same place.  There are 2 solenoids, one to the left and one to the right, (up and down I think, but again can't remember for sure as that repair was a good 20 years ago).   ----- Original Message ----- >From: Nexi >To: omc-boats@...s.ultimate.com >Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 9:05 PM >Subject: [OMC-Boats] Tilt not working on 1967 Sportsman 120 > > >I went ahead and bought a battery, Marine - Starting, and started testing things out on the dash. 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@... >http://lists.ultimate.com/mailman/listinfo/omc-boats >
