The starter motor on a Mercury engine with part number 30 may not engage after being stored for about 2 years due to several possible reasons:
1. Weak or dead battery – The battery may have lost charge or degraded during storage. 2. Loose or corroded battery connections – Corrosion or loose terminals can prevent proper current flow. 3. Blown fuse – A blown 20 Amp fuse in the starting circuit can stop the motor from engaging. 4. Ignition key switch failure – The switch may not be functioning properly. 5. Outboard not in neutral – The motor must be in neutral to start. 6. Wiring issues – Loose, corroded, or damaged wiring can interrupt the circuit. 7. Starter motor or solenoid failure – Internal failure from corrosion or wear can prevent engagement.
These issues are common after long-term storage without proper maintenance.

Theory of Operation Ignition Component Description The ignition system is alternator-driven with distri- butor-less capacitor discharge.

CAPACITOR CHARGING #2 CDM The flywheel rotates the permanent magnets past the capacitor charging coils–causing the coils to produce AC voltage (260–320 volts). The opposite voltage pulse is then conducted to the CAPACITOR DISCHARGE MODULES (CDM), where it is rectified (DC) and stored in a capacitor.

The switch discharges the flywheel) has one coil for each cylinder. the capacitor voltage through the coil primary These coils are mounted adjacent to the fly- windings.
Ignition Coil Circuit As the capacitor voltage flows through the pri- mary windings of the ignition coil, a voltage is in- duced into the ignition coil secondary windings. This secondary voltage rises to the level re- quired to jump the spark plug gap and return to ground.
Stop Circuit To stop the engine, the stop switch is closed al- lowing the capacitor charge current from the sta- tor to drain directly to ground. NOTE: The CDM contains a zener diode (not shown for clarity). This diode prevents overcharging of the capaci- tor (and possible failure) if the SCR does not re- ceive a trigger pulse.

To bypass a CDM with a failed stator voltage NOTE 1: This test will work on 3 & 4 cylinder return path, install the DVA adaptor harness (to engines, however the number of CDM’s allow easy access to the wire connectors) and (cylinders) that function correctly will vary.

Theory of Operation Checking For Restricted Fuel Flow Caused By Anti-siphon Valves The fuel pump is a crankcase-pressure-operated, di- aphragm-type pump. Crankcase pulsating pressure While anti-siphon valves are helpful from a safety is transferred by way of a passage (hole) from the stand-point, they clog, they may be too small, or they crankcase to the fuel pump.
Testing PROBLEM: LACK OF FUEL PUMP PRESSURE Possible Cause Corrective Action Install clear fuel hose(s) between fuel pump and car- buretor(s). Run engine, and inspect hose(s) for air Anti-siphon valve. Refer to “ Checking for bubbles. If air bubbles are found, see “ Air Bubbles in Restricted Fuel Flow Fuel Line”.

Idle Speed Adjustment 9/16 in.
Main (High Speed) Jet Adjustment The carburetor has a fixed high speed jet. Extreme changes in weather (temperature and humidity) and/ or elevation may result in a too lean or rich fuel mix- ture at wide-open-throttle, which may require a change in the high speed jet.
Rejetting Carburetors For High Alti- tude Operation The carburetor jet installed at the manufacturer is for engine operation at sea level through an elevation of 2500 feet (762m) above sea level. If the engine is to be operated at an altitude higher than 2500 feet above sea level, it will be necessary to rejet (remove the carburetor jets and install jets with a different ori- fice size) the carburetors.

DOWN MODE When the trim switch is activated in the down posi- tion, the electric motor (a) will rotate the pump (n) in the opposite direction. With the pump gears rotating backwards, the flow of oil is reversed. Oil is drawn through the filter, past the feed check ball (m), into the down circuit oil pick–up and finally into the oil pump.

SHOCK FUNCTION UP Oil inside the down cavity is locked in a static position by the closed pressure operated valve (h), the manu- al release valve (j) and the tilt relief valve (k). If the outboard strikes an underwater object while in for- ward gear the trim ram (b) will try to rapidly extend from the cylinder , the pressure increases inside the trim cylinder down cavity and connecting passages.

SHOCK FUNCTION RETURN After the engine clears the under water object, the weight of the engine will increase the oil pressure be- tween the memory piston (e) and shock piston (d) to the level required to open the shock return valve (v), inside the shock piston, allowing the oil to bleed back through the shock piston into the down cavity.

Rewind Starter Disassembly Remove cam retainer. WARNING When disassembling and reassembling rewind starter, SAFETY GLASSES must be worn in case rewind spring uncoils out of the housing. Untie knot in starter rope and release starter rope to allow rewind spring to unwind. Remove retaining clip and attaching screw which secures shift interlock cable to starter housing.
Cleaning and Inspection Remove starter sheave. Clean components in solvent and dry with com- pressed air. Inspect rewind spring for kinks, burrs, corrosion of breakage. Inspect starter sheave, rope guide and starter housing for nicks, grooves, cracks, wear or dis- tortion, especially area of rope travel.

Questions and answers
Batteriet är OK. Startmotorn slår inte till.Motorn har varit lagrad i garaget i c:a 2 år.
The starter motor on a Mercury engine with part number 30 may not engage after being stored for about 2 years due to several possible reasons:
1. Weak or dead battery – The battery may have lost charge or degraded during storage.
2. Loose or corroded battery connections – Corrosion or loose terminals can prevent proper current flow.
3. Blown fuse – A blown 20 Amp fuse in the starting circuit can stop the motor from engaging.
4. Ignition key switch failure – The switch may not be functioning properly.
5. Outboard not in neutral – The motor must be in neutral to start.
6. Wiring issues – Loose, corroded, or damaged wiring can interrupt the circuit.
7. Starter motor or solenoid failure – Internal failure from corrosion or wear can prevent engagement.
These issues are common after long-term storage without proper maintenance.
