1986 Merc. 175.<br /><br />I did some ohm tests on the stator and they were'nt good. (see tesing Stator/Switchbox post). If I replace the stator, will that require the need for Timing/synchronizing work?<br /><br />Here are the ohm readings from the stator leads...<br /><br />My seloc manual states...<br />Between blue and red stator wires = 4.5-6.2 x1000<br />Blue/White and Red/White = 5.4-6.2 x1000<br />Red to Ground = 125-175 x1<br />Red/White to Ground = 125-175 x1<br /><br />I got, in the same order... = 31.35 x1000<br />= 3.92 x1000<br />= 67.7 x1<br />= 69 x1<br /><br />None of the readings were in range. Kind of makes me wonder how I can even start the motor (it runs very rough however, won't idle). I can handle the replacement, but timing I'm not sure about.... Any thoughts?
<br /><br />Clams, what do you think of the ohm readings? Can you determine anything out of them... Is the whole stator bad, or one winding or the other (regardless, I guess it needs replaced)?<br /><br />I'm going to check spark on all cylinders later today (I have to rig something up first to do it). <br />Just got done checking compression, all cylinders 125 psi...
