Ok, here is a good one. With my newish sailing boat, I got a 9.9hp jonno saildrive. its a 1996 model. I dont think its been started in 5 years, but 3 pulls and a lot of white smoke and away she went. Was even pumping water, although I am thinking I should get the water pump serviced.
So as I was going over it I discoverd a few things. IT has 2 wires coming out to an anderson plug, which connects to an anderson on the boat. I assumed this was for charging. However further peering under the covers revealed a starter motor. So now I assume the anderson is for 2 things, charging and starting. The only problem is, I cannot for the life of me figure out how the electric start works. Not that it matters, is piss easy to pull start. But now I am curious.
Any ideas?
