Yanmar Start Switch


Recommended Posts

Yanmar 3gm. Press start button- nothing happens until, after random presses, I get a

connection. I seem to remember reading about this a few years ago, but I have lost the reference.

Something to do with replacing a small gauge wire from the start button to the solenoid?

Anyone enlighten me with a fix please?

I have a Yanmar j series and there is a small gauge wire from the start switch to a relay. The start switch energises the relay which activates the starter solenoid etc. The relay is situated on the engine. It works well and is a way of getting around a voltage drop on longer runs of light gauge wiring.

That's very kind of you, but I think it will do me good to fix the problem.

I've improved the connections and the problem has gone away for the

moment. If it comes back , I'll take the above advice and fit an extra relay.

Thanks all your your  help.

cheers
