I have a Mariner Magnum 150 h.p. V-6, Ser No.0b143244. Lost fire on 2-4-6 cly. Put new CDI stator 174-5456-16 on.Runs good to 2000 RPM then misfires on 2-4-6.Will not run over 2000 RPM.Put 2 new switch boxes on. Did not help. Disconnected yellow wires from stator. Did not help.Switched red-red white and blue-blue white wires from stator to switch boxes. Misfire went to 1-3-5.Sent stator to CDI, they said it tested good. My old stator was 398-5454-36 5/8 inch lam. and the new one is 1/2 inch lam. Could this be the problem or what could it be? Thanks.

i would asume if you can move the problem then you found the problem. i agree, stator.

i dont know if its posible, but can you measure the voltage on the two sets of blue/red wires while the engines sort of running/cranking?

I bought a DVA adapter for my cheap Sears digital meter.When I tested stator voltage with it the digital numbers were flashing so fast I could not get a good voltage test. Do I need a better meter or what am I doing wrong?

abpro, sure sounds like a stator, he will get the problem resolved for you

I called Clark at 256-772-3829 and he was very helpful.He said it sounds like the stator is bad. Going to get new stator since this one is still under warranty.Thanks for your help.
