Re: new boat no worky L drive HELP!!
Check the back side of the ignition switch for any loose wires.<br /><br />The other things to check out on the ignition will vary with your model of motor. I don't have any specs for your motor, but they are available in most generic repair manuals, or in the oem factory repair manual.<br /><br />Doubtful that all coils would go bad so lets count those out for now.<br /><br />Stator is tested for resistance (ohms), 2 yellow wires coming from under the flywheel, lower numbers are good, high numbers or infinity is bad.<br /><br />Flywheel has magnets glued to the underside.<br />It spins over the stator which is a series of wire coils and generates power, which it sends to the switchbox.<br /><br />The trigger also picks up a signal from the flywheel and sends a signal to the switchbox, telling it when to fire. The switchbox fires juice to the coils which feed the sparkplugs.<br /><br /><br />I hope this helps a little, best to get a manual.<br /><br />And thank you for your Service.
