Testing mercury stator

Testing my stator using a ohm meter my readings are. Between blue and red leads Also does the stator have to be installed on engine for this test and is this a good test procedure? If your readings are not within the range specified for your stator the part is bad. Replace it. I left out a little info on my 1st post, the numbers are from a new Mercury stator that I just got today to replace my old stator. My old stator numbers are I'm all screwed up the way I'm seeing this. Do I have 2 bad stators or are they both ok? New stator part no. Paul, Look at this link. Read and re read it until you understand not being a smart ass what they are telling you. It's pretty simple. There are plenty of links within the link. They talk about tools, how to use them and test procedures for each componet.

Thanks in advance, Jerry. If I get multiple questionable readings, testing mercury stator, I go dig a resistor out of the parts drawers that is near what I'm trying to measure, just to check the meter. If your engine mounted tank is not filling then the tank is leaking air or the oil line is clogged, or the check valve is stuck.

I have a Mercury 4 hp single cylinder that has no spark. I filed the points, soldered on new wires as the insulation was cracked. I had spark initially and then nothing. I did some checking and followed a how to video and have determined the coil is dead by checking with an ohm meter. The coil is expensive enough. But the cost of the stator far exceeds the value of this motor. Thank you for the article.

Are you noticing anything wrong related to the battery and engine? Therefore, you must detect the signs of a bad stator. The most common signs of a bad stator in a Mercury outboard engine are problems with engine activation, lack of power, and misfiring. Getting panic attacks? Thus, you can overcome them in the future.

Testing my stator using a ohm meter my readings are. Search Advanced search…. Read your Service Manual for all safety precautions before working on your motor. I will continue my search but would greatly appreciate someone chiming in about my stator findings and what they mean. Their info is probably very current, regardless of what OEM says. Some failures only show up clearly after the motor has reached operating temperature. I have the same exact symptoms: runs great when i first get to the lake, take a couple of laps around the lake and it runs perfect, set it down off plane, begin idling and sooner or later it feels like it's running on half the cylinders. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Make sure all the stator wires are clear of the flywheel so they don't rub. The coil is expensive enough. When that comes in is determined by the springs on the centrifical weights in the distributor.

Air generated by the pistons motion flows throug this line. Thanks for your help guys and gals I really appreciate it. Thanks for everybody's help. So here I sit with a new stator and I'm still confused about my stator ohm readings as no one has answered that one yet. Skip to content How to test 4 hp Mercury single cylinder stator. This explains why many outboard motors can run without a battery, or can run even when there are big problems with the battery charging circuit. This is the second recent article in which an owner of a Mercury outboard motor with a running problem that has an onset at an engine speed range of above 1,RPM has speculated that the cause is a malfunction of the stator. I had spark initially and then nothing. There are typically individual spark coil and individual low-voltage drive signals switched by individual SCR's. Supply a good source of water to the motor using a Flushett and test run the motor. I reconnect switch box leads and do a compression test to rule that out as a possible problem to lbs. I used 2 different flukes a simpson meter that we use on our company jet and a craftsman, a radioshack pocket meter and all within 50 ohms. Search forums. You obviously have much more depth regarding electrical components and engineering than I and probably would understand why this would be the case.
