    PL-88 load adapter

    I see in the CDI troubleshooting guide where they show the proper orientation of the flywheel trigger magnet. Is it possible that if it moved it would cause a no spark issue?

    I know, it's just very frustrating.

    Sounds so easy for you to spend my money😉, but yeah, I'm about to order one. Thanks

    It beeps one time, I'm not sure about diagnostics, or ecm

    PL-88 load adapter

    If I disconnect the main wiring harness, and still have no spark, doesn't that eliminate the shift switch, the safety lanyard switch, and the key switch? Which would isolate the issue to the stator, the timer base, or the power pack??

    Even if the coil is bad, shouldn't I be able to get a voltage reading at the primary lead where it attaches to the coil?

    That's very true about the new components, but I'm confident it's cranking fine, I cleaned all the connections when i put the new starter on, I don't know the actual rpms because my tach works intermittently, I'm getting the proper voltage from the stator to the power pack.

    I've read at least 250 rpm, my starter is brand new.

    PL-88 load adapter

    I've been dreading these electrical/electronic issues for a long time, expecting them the older my engine gets because I'm not very good at understanding some of this, but if the connector is together and it's a sealed connection, how do you probe it? And I'm still reading through the cdi...

    Thanks so much, so when it says to check the dva "connected", do I pierce the wires with the meter leads?

    PL-88 load adapter

    I have a 1995 Johnson 200hp Venom with no spark on all cylinders, the stator is new, the timer base dva output is .5 -.8 volts. To check power pack output my Seloc manual says to disconnect the primary lead to the coil and use a load adapter to check the voltage. Does leaving the primary lead...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro help #2!

    My stator is new, I'm questioning the timer base and power pack, I've tried two other timer bases, besides my original, I tested resistance on all three and got very similar ohm readings, which seem low but they're consistent, the one I have on there checks good on voltage output( .5 - .8 volts...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro help #2!

    The loose magnets you're talking about are the ones that go around the stator, or the timer base magnet? Is the timer base magnet oriented in a specific way? Could it be loose and maybe slip, causing timing/no spark issues?

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    Sorry this is long winded, but my starter crapped out, finally got a new one yesterday, so I know it's cranking fine. But still no spark, the voltage at battery while cranking goes from 12.8 to 11.6 ish. The stator is brand new from a company called Caltric on ebay. I ordered a used timer base...
