New 23 Vanguard electric start not working
Brand new motor I got a week ago on my backwater, When i first got it the electric start worked for 3-4 times, now it doesnt do anything, pull start still works. Battery is charged and everything else obvious is in order. I did notice that the white wire coming out of the ignition isnt connected to anything unlike the other 4 or 5 wires. I dont see anything that the wire wire could connect to. Am i missing something?

Re: New 23 Vanguard electric start not working
I don't believe that white wire is supposed to connect to anything. The plug on the back of your ignition switch may have come loose

Post pics of what you're describing, then go dig through the service manual while you await a response from someone that knows these particular engines.

Re: New 23 Vanguard electric start not working
I think everyone needs a powerprobe. Is the white wire positive or ground or open?

Re: New 23 Vanguard electric start not working
Between the two posts on the starter solenoid, is there a connection for that white wire? The solenoid needs a signal that you turned the key to engage. I'm guessing it's that white wire.

Re: New 23 Vanguard electric start not working
turns out it was the tilt switch, the motor has to be so high for the electric start to work..
