Outboard stator installation orientation

You'll learn a lot about your motor and it will pay for itself down the road. I just changed the stator on my Mercury You need a flywheel puller, but if your friend already removed the old one, then that's taken care of. Orientation is critical, so hopefully you saw where the old one was positioned before it was removed. Otherwise it is a simple plug in deal. Be sure to use Locktight sp? My lil 2liter haz seen 11k a couple times, but my stator is in tha forward position, and I truely don't thank it matters, so I ain't goin to worry wit it ta see Oh, I finally found out why my rpm wuz stuck My 10pack modified XRI wuz the culprit The motor that I was discussing earlier was a stock and it DID make a difference in the timing This iz my point I'm not say'in what iz rite, or what iz wrong, and not deny'in yo results ov yo exsperiences wit this subject Altho I do like putt'in a cukklebur under yo saddle, I juss give'in my opinion, and juss ain't never figger'd out what wuz OEM, kuz I've seen'um both ways But i'z don't deel wit motaz witout paint, and iz a late model ta me!!!

I've been going to merc tech school for about 24 years. I can't tell you any different cause i have allways put them back the same way. Damm, I thunk U wuz only 30!!!!! About I worked on a 4 cylinder 50 hp Merc that had no fire if the cold start lever was down.

You could lift the lever just enough to move the trigger and you had fire and the motor would start. Once it was started you could put the lever back down and it would continue to run. After changing every part that had anything to do with ignition I still had the same problem. I rotated the stator to a new position and it would fire no matter where the trigger was positioned.

During the early 90's I experimented with this extensively on a SST What I determined was that depending on where the timing was set position of trigger if the stator was moved the timing would change.

It would not quit firing when the stator or trigger was moved, but the spark strength measured with an O scope would be weaker in some positions. Once again I went to a similiar 4 cylinder and found that I could duplicate the problem that was previously encountered. I could make it quit firing and cause the timing to shift by moving the stator. My conclusion is that the magnetic field from the stator can interfere with the trigger pulse if the windings of the two are aligned in a certain way.

Hope this makes sense to someone other than trex!!! Because of a faulty or damaged stator, your engine may start frequently stalling. Because when the stator is damaged, the engine stops recharging the vessel batteries.

Ensure whether it is happening because of the stator by checking its condition. If your existing stator shows bubbling around the battery charge windings, that means you have a bad stator problem. If you detect any of the above-mentioned symptoms, remember to use these 5 easy steps to fix the problem: —. Do not start any further inspection or tests before that. Otherwise, you can face an accident that can cause severe injury or damage if the engine cranks or starts during testing.

The diagnosis depends on the model of your outboard engine, so you need to perform the same procedure, which mentioned in your service manual. Stators inspection results will vary depending on different conditions, whether hot, warm, or cold.

In some cases, you can only diagnose the failures if the engine has reached a certain operating temperature. There are mainly two types of tests to inspect your stator to confirm whether it needs repair or replacement-. So, follow the spec and test instructed in your service manual.
