200hp Ficht blowing fuse

[leckbass]

I have a 2000 200hp Ficht. Modle#RE200FLSSH Serial#G04864098



I found this fuse blown, everytime i replace it, it blows again.

My motor wouldent turn over, i found a cracked solenoid and a blown fuse. I replaced the starter soleniod, now i have the motor back together and this fuse keeps blowing. What can i check or what should my next step be? Thanks for your help.

A shop manual with the schematic will help you immensely. There are many circuits on that motor that you really need the schematics for it.

i do have a manual and a schematic from a seloc manual. I'm just not sure where to go from here.

Didn't you post this before? You have a shorted EMM or the wire going to it.

i did mention it in another post, but now that i have the solenoid back together i am trying to figure out what to test next. Where to start looking for the dead short

That wire runs from that fuse directly to pin # 23 of the bottom starbord connector of the EMM! If you remove the connector and check that wire for a short to ground, if it is not shorted then you have a bad EMM. Pretty sure you have a bad EMM!

Is that the purple/white wire for the ignition? Can i check it without removing the connector? I cant get it out unless i remove alot of stuff, i just dont have enough confidence to do that just yet...

I appreciate your help!

[leckbass]

ok thanks, i'll remove the cover and get it out. one more question. Since the fuse blows as soon as i put it in, should i first disconnect the battery, then remove the connector, then replace the fuse, then re connect the battery, then check the connection?

I have loved this motor for the last few years, but i sure do miss my old simple motor!
