    2000 40hp F40TLRY hard start

    Thanks for the info Boscoe ! I must have had dirt in a jet or ? because it idles fine now. Maybe the Sea Foam/Stabil did it's job. Had "Eastern Iowa Fishing Has No Boundary's" last week and it ran great !

    2000 40hp F40TLRY hard start

    Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this: I put a new prime start solenoid in it and that fixed the problem - THANKS RP ! Now it starts up fine and runs great but when I idle it runs rough and kills at low idle so when you come into the dock at low idle it dies. I use to start it with the start...

    2000 40hp F40TLRY hard start

    I can turn it over until the battery is just about dead before it fires off. I have give it short throttle strokes to keep it running but once it’s warm it runs great and very easy to start. Some times I turn it over until the battery is just about dead then let it sit for several hours and many...

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    Sorry for late follow up- Flushed the fuel lines & drained the carbs, new plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump kit in that order and now it runs great. Thanks for all the help guys ! Now if we could just get the Mississippi river to go down about 9 feet I could get it docked again ! Uncle Dave

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    You guys were right ! ! THANKS ! Solenoid was welded shut. $64 later for new OEM and it turns over and shut's off perfectly. Problem now is it wont start, not even a pop. I have good spark to my plugs, that was the first thing I checked (shocking experience). I'm guessing it's no gas to carbs...

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    Thanks Mike - I am certainly grateful there are people like you willing to help those who want to learn. Yes that is the "remote switch that you push the key in and it chokes before the actual starter engagement" Great instructions - When the rains quit here, hopefully tomorrow morning, I'll be...

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    That’s some great info and greatly appreciate it. I have a lot to learn and hate to ask dumb questions Mike but when you talk about “remove and replace the switch” are you talking about replacing the keyed ignition switch(mine is push to choke) ? Is the magnetic switch talked about the same...

    2000 40hp ELPTO cant shut off

    I have a Mercury 40hp 2 stroke (40 ELPTO) on my pontoon. Sometimes when I try to start it the solenoid motor? runs but doesn’t engage the motor and the solenoid motor keeps running and stays running even when I shut the key off. I had to disconnect at the positive battery terminal to kill it...
