Hi peoples,
I posted last year a problem i was having with my 2004 4 tec Sportster, having used the boat several times after purchase it was left to stand for approx 3 weeks. Returning to it to carry out winter shut down and prep i found that it wouldnt beep when the lanyard was attached to the dess post. I looked into the problem and decided to replace the dess post, a new one bought and soldered onto the connector, i attached it as normal and still no beeps.
I know that we have a connection as the fuel pump kicks in when the lanyard is attached but it doesnt beep and it wont start. I have crossed the starter solenoids and the engine cranks. I have checked every fuse i can find and looked at all the conectors to make sure they are not corroded.
Its all getting a little frustrating now as the sea here in the uk is like a pond today and i need to get out there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
