Ok, well here is the story in a nutshell: I own a 1993 Sea Rayder with a 90 Hp sport jet. I had issues with it getting started so I called a local mechanic to check it out. He got it running and I was as giddy as a schoolboy.... right up until the magnets under the flywheel self-destructed. So we took the flywheel off and found that the magnets were in pieces and the stator (red) was slightly damaged. He told me to just order a new flywheel, slap that baby on and you'll be on the water in no time. Awesome. So I ordered a new flywheel from boats;net. Side note: I can't find the *#$!& serial number on the motor to save my life, but all the variations of serial numbers of the 93 sport jet on boats;net point to the same part number for the new flywheel.
Got the new flywheel, installed the new flywheel and NOTHING! Well, the stator looked damaged and quite a bit of rust was on it. I figured it wouldn't hurt to get a new one, so off to Ebay it was. I installed the slightly used (red) stator and still nothing. So now it was time to dig into information. That's how I ended up here.
I found a thread which told me there had been a conversion for the sea rayders and that you MUST get the correct parts for the boats- mismatched parts won't work. Then I decided to find out the difference in flywheels. The breakout diagram on boats(dot) net calls the middle ring on the flywheel a "spacer." This is the biggest pile of crap. This so-called "spacer" actually has magnets in it which trigger the spark plugs. The old flywheel and the new flywheel have different magnet configurations (you can take a small, round refrigerator magnet and "see" the difference). I have mapped out what the configuration of the magnets are for both flywheels and could make a drawing if needed.
So I guess my question is: if I buy a new trigger assembly which goes along with the new flywheel, will it work?
P.S. I have tested the trigger with an oscilloscope, and it will not work with the new flywheel. I am also aware of all of the tests for the stator, trigger, and Capacitor discharge modules (CDMs) and I have the manual.
Any help would be appreciated.
