Hello, im new here and just want to say thanks in advance for anyones help!
Last August a buddy of mines boat this sugarsand quit running. I checked for spark and it only has spark on the passenger side of engine. I have been looking on the net for ohm specs to check the coil pack but i end up getting different numbers on different sites. I visually inspected everything and didnt see any corroded or disconnected wires. If you could keep in mind, im a car mechanic and new to boats. So the whole stator deal is kinda new to me. Im also unsure if the kill switch could be the problem and just kills one side of spark? or does the kill switch kill all the spark? and fuel for these boats?
As of now its getting fuel just no spark to the drivers side, it has 3 carbs. 6 coil packs. THe coil packs that arent firing have two posts each. a negative (black wire to each), and a green with white tracer, green with yellow tracer/stripe and i think green with red tracer. Im unsure of the tracer/stripe colors since i looked at it yesterday. oh, if this helps-WHile i was looking up testing procedures i noticed a site saying not to use a maintenance free battery. And i remembered he was, could that be a problem?
Could someone send me a link to a service manual or email me a link? Or please give me testing procedures? A wiring diagram would help too. If i have to replace the trigger/stator, is that easy to do? I took the top cover off to expose the flywheel i guess its called for boats, im sure these engines work like a lawnmower with the magnets and such. Well anyways in the middle of this flywheel was a yellow protective cap with a nut holding the flywheel on. Is there a special tool needed to remove everything? If it is the stator that needs to be removed, will there be instructions in the stator repair kit for installation? Like i said, im new to boat engines. I really want to thank you all again for helping me and my buddy fix his boat.
Heres the serial # for the engine
0e375832
Also, anyone know what kind of ignition system this boat has?, i have read of adi ignition, cdm,omc? and also what is the high side and low side for checking ohms on the stator? I have red pages that just say check the stators high side and low side, but im not sure what they are talking about.
