Re: compression test and timing - 1994 250 hp Johnson
OK have tried to get some readings but only succeed for the ohms measurements.
Both the stator and the timer base resistance measurements are within spec, I was able to locate all the wires so that seems ok.
However when trying to measure DVA I guess I did not get much of a reading unfortunately. After reading a bit more carefully I saw this in the CDI troubleshooting procedure:
"A Digital multimeter with peak voltage scale cannot be used without the DVA as the meter is expecting a 60 hertz signal where the outboard can have an equivalent frequency of over 1000 hertz." So guess I will not come any further without the dva adapter.
Guess my old meter would have been good enough with the DVA adapter. Nothing else to do than to get myself such an adapter.
It's a lot to learn
