suzuki outboard diagnostic software doesnt work

When your starter motor is turning over it is spinning your flywheel to create voltage for your ignition system and battery charging system. If you're turning your key and the starter motor isn't cranking then you may have a faulty solenoid. The ignition switch sends a signal to the solenoid when you turn your key allowing it to open this allows voltage from your battery to pass through it to the starter motor. A faulty ignition switch can cause all sorts of problems with your ignition system and is more often than not overlooked. It also turns the engine off by shorting the CDI unit (power pack or switchbox) to ground. Every electric start outboard has an ignition switch and it will open and shut the starter solenoid. To activate your engine and crank it over you need a switch. Without the correct voltage, your outboards starter motor may not be able to crank the flywheel fast enough to activate your ignition system. Outboards require higher cold cranking amps than many other engines and therefore a dedicated marine battery with the correct cranking capacity for your outboard is a must. Your boat battery is where it all starts. The following is a list of what makes up an ignition system from start to finish. Apart from having the right tools to assist in diagnosis, a basic understanding of how a two stroke ignition system works is fundamental. Whilst I am always happy to try and help in diagnosis, it can be very hard to do so over the phone. The most common thing I get asked over the phone to assist with is diagnosing outboard ignition problems. Troubleshooting 2 Stroke Ignition Problems
