possible stator problem?

[swansea beast]

alright lads

been told that my engine might have a problem in the high speed output of the stator its a mariner mercury 90hp 2 stroke and wont let me rev her full out (backs off after half throttle) changed coils, sparkes etc

anyone know how to test this theory out?

leigh

[uncle al]

speak to your local merc/mar dealer and ask if he will look in the manual and give you the figures, good luck

You need a DVA Meter to test the output on the stator. There is a resistance test you can do as well, but you have to check the voltage coming out with a DVA meter.

anyone know where i can get the high speed stator from?

[jwalker]

You probably can't, it's normally one lug on the whole stator with a coil on it. The coil is likely to be encapsulated also. It is possible to break open the encapsulation (with care) and you'll find a bobbin in there with the faulty windings on it. The bobin can be removed and the coil rewound, refitted and re-encapsulated. Suitable winding wire can be purchased from the Scientific Wire Company, Essex, Tel No. 01371 238013

To make this clear, this is a seriously determined effort not to have to pay for a replacement stator and if you fek it up your stator will be scrap.... but I have successfully done this. Bear in mind though that it'll probably be scrap anyway if the high speed charge coil is U/S.

However, I don't know your motor, you may be lucky and have separate coils, in which case you can likely replace or rewind the appropriate coil. Good luck.

I'm sure the stator, I had the very same problem. Check its advancing as well

not wanting to confuse or cost you any more money, but in the past ive had trouble with mercury cdi units causing the same problem
