Testing mercury stator

Topic: Mercury Stator Resistance Readings.

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 get conflicting numbers all over the internet on what its supposedto read. I have this stator off a 3cyl force.. On the yellow circuit i get 1 ohm. Be advised that on many Mercury stators, there is a high and a low speed circuit. This one is no different. There are different readings for 90 and hp, 3 vs. The 3 cylinder 90 has only a red and a blue wire, not pairs of red and blue. The Red Stator was meant to solve the frequent black stator issues; and they did seem to do that. They were nothing but a tow job waiting to happen. Their info is probably very current, regardless of what OEM says. Still, I would toss a black stator as far away as I could. Skip to content 3cyl stator testing specs. Ask A Member.

Thread starter mthieme Start date Dec 8, Testing the stator only requires an ohmmeter, you do not need to remove the flywheel. Did you have that Boat at Three Testing mercury stator for the shootout, it looks familiar?

Your outboard stator is the "powerhouse" of your outboards ignition system. Most Mercury Outboard Stators perform two important functions 1. They provide voltage to your switchbox or CDM's. They charge your vessel's battery s. A faulty or failing stator can cause one or more symptoms.

They charge your vessel's battery s. A faulty or failing stator can cause one or more symptoms. Engine fails to run and has no spark. Engine is hard to start especially after sitting from a run. Engine is low on power or has a "miss". Engine stalls frequently. Engine does not recharge the vessel's battery s.

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. Besides, the maintenance tips will let you keep your stator in better condition. With the assistance of rotating components, the required energy passes through stators. So if anything is wrong, fix it or go for a new mercury outboard stator.

Its not your dads engine anymore. The tester has a small spark gap contained inside a transparent glass cylinder. Thread starter mthieme Start date Dec 8, I reconnect switch box leads and do a compression test to rule that out as a possible problem to lbs. Log in Register. An engine that is running too hot will "overheat" the stator. October 17, at am I checked each of the four yellow with ground and get no continuity There are different readings for 90 and hp, 3 vs. This coil provides the trigger signal to the SCR's for firing the spark.

For optimum battery charging you want a coil that comes on with a lot of voltage at lower engine speeds. All rights reserved. Keep in mind that a bad stator might not be your only problem. I very much enjoy learning new things, and try to see mechanical problems when they arise as opportunities, though sometimes that perspective is difficult to grasp at the moment. It's a kit that includes the stator and wiring harness adapter to plug into the old design. Air generated by the pistons motion flows throug this line. Check the high speed circuits on the switch boxes and stator in real time. Results 1 to 18 of Chris Supreme Mariner. Now I just need to make a big paperweight out of the old stator. You're right, I really shouldn't be doing much without the imperical knowledge gleaned from a service manual.
