Glad you got it figured out, not stupid just life man but I know how you feel. Pulled a similar stunt a few weeks ago, aint gave no details and don't intend to. Glad you got it figured out!
Unbelievable. I feel so stupid. This is the start button on the side of the shift lever. One press and motor turns right over.
It's got a mechanical neutral safety feature, not electronic. It swings out of position and won't press the hidden button behind it when it's not in neutral. No label on it and it don't even look like a button. Unreal.
The other button is the fuel enrichment button. It clicks on a little solenoid thing here to prime some fuel in the intake. ATTACH]141408[/ATTACH]

Well, it ain't "runnin" yet. I drained fuel tank and am cleaning and re-carpeting. And especially drying things out. Also, I started another thread about what just happened this morning on my other 40hp evinrude on the Tracker: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/mecha...ml#post2483383
Now I got two projects at once! doh
Projects are good. As long as you have time, lol. Thats my problem, time.
So I'm assuming the key is just to turn on the engine and accessories??
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 25:15
I hooked up the gas/battery and it started right up. Yay. At least I got one boat working, now if I can finish the front deck in time to take it to the Talquin slabfest this coming weekend! We'll see how it all works out.
Check your water pump and also be a good idea to drain and replace lower unit oil
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
