I'm trying to measure continuity on a stator for a 1988 Evinrude, 110 HP V4 outboard. The<br />books says to pull one yellow wire that leads to the stator and test thru that. If there is any<br />continuity the stator is bad. However, the book does not say to completely unhook both yellow<br />wires first (there are two). If I just measure one yellow wire it leaves the other yellow wire <br />(which goes to the stator) hooked to the rectifier at the junction box - I get continuity then. <br />But if I disconnect both yellow wires at the junction box and measure one of them I get zero <br />continuity which indicates the stator is good. <br /><br />But my book is not clear on this. One way I am measuring has the rectifier in the loop and the <br />other way I measure takes it out of the loop. My question is if I measure continuity in just the<br />stator alone with nothing else in the loop, is that the way to do it? Or should I leave the <br />2nd yellow wire hooked up at the junction box to the rectifier? <br /><br />Any help you can be would be greatly apprecitated.<br /><br />Steve
