What to do if my Monterey 234 FS/FSX Toy engine will not crank?

  Donald ShermanAug 4, 2025
  If your Monterey Toy engine won't crank, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the engine stop switch is properly connected and that the shift/throttle control is not in gear. Check if the main circuit breaker is open. Also, inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and clean or replace them if necessary. A weak battery could also be the culprit, so consider replacing it. Finally, make sure all battery wiring connections are tight and free of corrosion; tighten or replace them as needed. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consult your engine owner’s manual.
