Hi,
I have replaced 5 magnets on my 1996 90elpt force flywheel with magnets I salvaged from a similar year date and size Mercury 3 cyl engine, the magnets are the same size and shape but do seem slightly weeker.
I am getting a spark to all 3 plugs but the engine will not start, sounds the same as when you try with the kill switch off.
prior to replacing the magnets the engine was running ok at low to medium rpm despite having 5 smashed magnets.
The stator looks fine and I have not touched the trigger so the timing should not have changed
Can anybody suggest a probable cause for the engine not starting.
Best regards.
Graham.
