Troubleshooting Stator 173-3668

  This information was packed with Stator number 173-3668.  It is not for every Stator. Some  tips are some good ones that the customer can use to Help trouble shoot other stators as well.   The Wiring codes could be different on other stators. These products were designed to be installed by a professional marine mechanic. Outboardparts.com cannot be held liable for injury or damage resulting from improper installation, abuse, neglect or misuse of this information or products.

No fire at all:

1. Disconnect the kill Wire and retest.  If the Ignition now has fire, check the kill circuit.

2.. Check the resistance between the brown and brown/yellow wires, in each set of wires.  You should read approximately 950 ohms. DVA (peak voltage) should be 150v or more.

3. There should be no connection from any of the winding leads to the metal body (core) of the Stator.

4. Inspect the flywheel outer Trigger magnets to see if they are loose or broken.

5. Disconnect the rectifier/regulator and retest.  If the fire returns, replace the rectifier/regulator.

No fire in one bank:

1.Check the resistance between the brown and the brown/yellow wires in each set of wires.  Brown to brown/yellow should read approximately 950 ohms for each set.  DVA (peak voltage) should be 150 volts or more.

2. Swap sides of the Stator leads to see if the no fire problem follows one side of the Stator. If it does, the Stator is bad. If the problem remains on the same bank, the power pack is probably bad.

High speed miss or weak hole shot:

1. Connect a DVA meter between the brown and brown yellow wires and do a running test. At no time should the voltage exceed 400v. If it does, the regulator circuit in the power pack is bad.  The voltage should show a smooth climb and stabilize, gradually falling off at high RPM (above 5000). If you see a sudden drop in voltage right before the miss becomes apparent, the problem is likely in the Stator.

2: Disconnect the rectifier and retest.  If the problem disappears, replace the rectifier and retest to verify that the problem was the rectifier.
