Re: 86 evinrude V6 150
Oshi.... I just came across your post and will add my comments.<br /><br />The problem you have indicates to me that you have ignition at first, then it is lost after it warms up. This is typical of the OMC engines that incorporate the 35amp charging system. The stator under the flywheel runs extremely hot and in time the large black coils on the rear of the stator (beginning of the ignition system) melt down. You may be able to see the melt down dripping from those black coils simply by looking under the flywheel, however I'd recommend haveing the flywheel and the stator removed for percise viewing.<br /><br />Usually a faulty, melting stator when cold will still have enough power (300v AC) to energize the powerpack(s) for a short time, but as it warms up, that power dissipates, the powerpack fails to energize, and ignition is lost.<br /><br />You could also have a ignition switch that is failing, and at the present time is intermitent. This can be tested by simply removing the black/yellow wire (kill circuit) from the back of the ignition switch, then running the engine. If the problem is now non existent, replace the ignition switch.
The mechanic is working on it as we speak and I was just looking for some things to tell him to check or ask if he checked and I have my list right here. Thanks again and hopefully I will be able to return the favor one day! <br />Good fishin to all<br />oshi!
