Hello all, I have a 2001 johnson 70hp 3 cyl that is very hard to start, has not spark initially but it will eventually start and will have spark and is easy to start the restof the day.
compression is good, spark plugs, plug wires, coil packs, power pack are all good.
i though it was trigger but resistance is 2 ohms out of range .
today I tested my stator and these ate my results.
So I checked my stator resistance today and found some really odd numbers.
tested these circuits when cold and after heating up the engine.
COLD
brown to brown/yellow 55,700k ohms
orange to orange/black 418 ohms
HOT
brown to brown/yellow 862 ohms
orange to orange/black 430 ohms
The normal range for brown wires is 600-850 ohms
and 450-550 for the orange ones per CDI manual.
How can the ohms be so high and still start the engine? once it warms up it gets close to spec.
any ideas?
Ade the brown leads power and orange charging? I have found contradictory information about this question.
thanks.
