Re: 1984 50hp merc ignition problem
John,<br /><br /> I just had some problems with my 1991 115hp mariner. I have just got a book on my motor and it made it real easy to do all the test on the system. I will give you all the info from my book to get you back in the water.<br /><br />Lets first make sure the stator is working. The book reads as follows for you motor. We will do the stator test first.<br /><br />1. Disconnect the stator leads form the switchbox.<br />2. Connect a ohmmeter between the blue and blue/white stator leads. With the meter set on Rx100 scale, it should read 5,700-8000 ohms.<br />3. Connect the ohmmeter betweem the red and red/white stator leads. With the meter set on the Rx1 scale, it should read 56 to 76 ohms.<br />4. Connect the ohmmeter between the blue stator lead and a good engine ground. With the meter set on the Rx 1,000 scale, the should be no continuity.<br />5. Repeat Step four with the red stator lead. There should be no continuity.<br />6. If the stator assembley performs as specified in each step, reconnect the leads to the switchbox. If
it does not, replace the stator Assembley.<br /><br />Let me know how you make out.<br />Stalker
