I've read many posts over the years about people not being able to crank their engine over for compression tests, or bump the engine over to set the timing, or check for spark, or. Well, the list goes on.
There are a few ways to cure the problem.
First get a helper. Usually that's not always possible or safe.
Second, If you have a carbed engine with a standard old round tall coil with the exposed + and - terminals on the top you can use a jumper wire as an ignition switch and a remote start switch (pictured below) to crank it over
Third, you can make a crank and run switch setup to hook up to that round 10 pin connector found on almost all marine engines.
The third method, although more expensive and complex to put together, is also the easiest method to use.
You need to find a Merc, OMC, or Volvo dealer and ask if they have any old pig tails of the engine wiring harness. That round 10pin connector with the pins in it (male end).
I still have several laying around the shop that I cut off of old wiring harnesses when repowering with new wiring to the helm.
You will only need 4 of the terminals in the plug for this method.
None of the wiring needs to be over 16 gauge wire as there is little amperage needed for anything this switch is used for.
It can be plugged into any type engine. Volvo, OMC, Mercruiser that uses the 10 pin round plug. I have found a couple of the pigtails that have pin too many for the older engines, it's one of the inside pins and not used in this application. Just pull it out or cut it off. Won't hurt a thing.
I have also found that cutting that waterproof skirt off around the pins makes it a lot easier to use.
Here is the basic wiring diagram. I use a lighted switch just so I know if the ignition is on or off. Wal Mart has rocker and toggle switches for about 4 bucks each.

Now, there's still plenty of carbureted two-strokes in service. And how to start a 2-stroke outboard motor is as important as ever. Maybe you own one, or maybe you're considering a used boat that's fitted with one. Perhaps it's an outboard in need of a rebuild. In either case, here's a basic 5-step starting procedure you can use to fire-up that oldie but goodie on the transom.
1. Engine tilted fully down (this makes it easier for fuel to get to the carburetors).
2. Squeeze primer bulb till firm.
3. Advance throttle in neutral to 2/3s.
4. Turn key on, push to choke (or pull out choke) and crank at same time.
5. Release choke, return throttle to neutral after ignition. more
Also, make sure the tank is vented. If it's a built-in tank, make sure the vent fitting is not partially obstructed by an insect nest or wax or something. here
Outboards start like a car; just tilt them down and turn the key. At least newer ones do. But it wasn't always that way. In the past, you had to learn how to start an outboard motor. Carbureted two-strokes can be fussy, especially when cold. And if you ever can't get one start, check out our 25 reasons why your boat engine won't start.
