Hi, I just recently picked up a 1977 glastron gt150 with a 115 johnson outboard, it ran perfect 2 weekends ago. Went to use it this past weekend and nothing??? The radio works, lights and fishfinder work, but can't get power to the motor? It has a new starter, new battery and starter solonoid. I cleaned the cables, checked the wires at the key also? I'm stumped??? Any help or ideas??? Thanx in advance!!!!

with key in start position you should see 12 volts on yellow wire with red stripe on starter solinoid

Check the 20 amp fuse on the engine. The other items should not be wired to the engine harness, if they are not they could still work and have nothing on the engine.
