stator ohms readings

[timmytes]

trying to test the ignition circuit on my 1999 125 merc. the book says that between the green/white and the white/green leads off the stator, it should be between 660-710 ohms. my meter reads about 645 ohms. is this reading within tollerance, and would the fact that it is about 50 degrees outside affect the reading at all.<br /><br />thanks

Re: stator ohms readings

I think you are alright... There a some variables that can affect readings (temp. and the meter itself)...So yes 50 degrees can affect it. That reading is ok to me.

Re: stator ohms readings

a bad or loose ground on your switch box can reduce your reading also,tempature is a diffent factor,it should fall between the ranges,how good the meter is a factor also

No problem at all with that reading.I've never figured out why they give you such a small window of readings.Guess they have to stop somewhere.<br /><br />DHP
