Yep.....Your paying someone to do it and the rebuilt motors they are using are of a cheaper variety.

I have my neighbors boat in my yard right now to replace the original rusted out one on a OX66.

I replaced the one on my 95 250 yamaha 2 stroke. Had to do it twice due to motor failure.... but the guy warranted the motor that I bought it from.

ARCO marine is in Pensacola,Fl. where I live. Their stuff is more expensive than what is bought as a rebuild on Ebay.... but it seems to hold up better.

Don't know....further testing would be in order to confirm what is wrong.

Battery could be low ? That is where I'd Start.

You probably have this resolved by now, since this is a month old post. If I kept changing out motors, and they fail intermittently, and the same solenoid was still installed, I would scrutinize the solenoid a little closer. Just because it "clicks" doesn't mean it's 2 large contact posts are being bridged internally. The contact metal inside the solenoid (sometimes silver plated) could be wearing out from normal arcing. If this fails again and all you get are "clicks", just bridge the solenoid's 2 large posts on the outside of the solenoid housing. Be careful not to bridge either of them to any frame metal, as this is usually the opposite polarity (ground). Although you can't get electrocuted with 12 volts, you can get a nasty burn from glowing metal/wires that short to ground and get stuck there.
