Have a 2000 Yamaha 150, four stroke. Last few cold starts have been fine but after running, short or long, on re-start it sounds like the starter is not engaging. It makes a thunking noise and the gauges respond at the key turn, but no ignition. I turn the key a get this a couple of times, then hold the key for a few seconds, starts right up. That is until this morning. Not getting anything, except gauge response, so I know the starter battery is working. Any assistance out there?
