95 speedster problem

[seadoobie]

I'm have trouble gettin the engines to turn over. I pulled the plugs out , lubed the cylinders & tried to crank it over...but got nothing. When I hit the start button I get a click sound from the engine comparment , then the red oil light comes on with 2 beeps about the same time. I'm not really sure what the 2 beeps mean & the oil tank is over half full. I'm thinking the starters are bad but probably not on both engines, right? All other funtions work fine though...bilge , lights, ect. except when i turn the switch to battery..nothing happens. I'm pretty sure theres no real trick to starting or turning the
engines over & it has a fresh battery so what is going on here? Any advise appreciated!
Thx!

The batterys are probably dead...

While your charging the batteries, pull the Plugs and spin the motors by hand via the shafts so you know for sure they are free. More than likely it sounds like dead batteries. Disconnect them before charging

I dont think the battery is the problem since I pulled it out of my chevy to give this a try. It tested just over 12v and cranks over a V8 just fine. Anyhow I will try turning them over by hand and make sure the engines are free and go from there.

It is unlikely that both starters went put, but it is possible. Try jumping the solenoid to engage one. Lightly tapping start with a hmer might help also. Otherwise pull out starter and bench test it.

Ok,so I traced the problem back to the kill switch. Now the engines spin over just fine.
