Outboard Will Not Shut Off
Outboard Starts and Stalls
OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE PROCEDURE
Outboard starts and
runs, normal perfor-
mance while running
Key switch or wire harness
ground
Check key switch and ground to key switch, refer
to System Analysis and Electrical and Ignition
Stop circuit wiring Check EMM LED indicators. Check wire harness
(black/yellow) and key/stop switch(s).
EMM failure Check EMM LED indicators and eliminate stop
circuit as possible cause. Stop wire (black/yellow)
has 4.0 VDC from EMM with key on or outboard
running.
OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE PROCEDURE
Outboard may not run
for more than a few
seconds
Faulty wiring, connections, or
grounds
Check all grounds, connections, and wiring
Incorrect, fouled, or worn spark
plugs
Replace spark plugs
Low or no alternator output
(55 V)
Check voltage on 55 V circuits, refer to System
Analysis and Electrical and Ignition
Capacitor or 55 V circuit wiring Check capacitor and 55 V circuit, refer to System
Analysis and Electrical and Ignition
Contaminated or poor fuel
quality
Check or replace fuel supply
Low fuel pressure Check pressure, refer to Fuel System
Air in fuel system Check for air in fuel supply manifold, refer to Fuel
System (vapor separator venting and fuel supply)
Fuel supply restricted Check primer bulb, anti-siphon valve, and fuel
pick-up, check for fuel system air leaks
Injector electrical circuit or con-
trol function
Check voltage at injectors, refer to System Anal-
ysis
Restricted or leaking fuel injec-
tor(s)
Check injectors, refer to Fuel System
EMM program, timing, or oper-
ation
Check EMM program and timing; check injector
coefficients; and monitor injector control wires and
ignition primary outputs
Weak or erratic ignition output Check ignition, refer to System Analysis and
Electrical and Ignition
Internal powerhead damage Check and repair as needed
