Hi Everyone
I am new because I have an issue with my outboarder.
I hope someone can help me.
The engine is an:
Evinrude, E15FRELEUA, 15 hp, 4 stroke, 1996, 2 cylinder.
Problem:
The engine won’t start. I think it is the ignition. There is only sometimes a weak or almost no spark.
Based on a repair manual I checked a lot of things:
Spark plugs: look good, they are new
Ignition cable: I checked the resistance and they are good
Ignition coil: Resistance between primary and ground = 0,3 ohms, between secondary and secondary = 2300 ohms
Powerpack: I checked the voltage with an Oscilloscope. It goes up to 100V, but only for a short time. I added a screenshot with the voltage below.
Stator: I checked the following things on the 4-pin connector:
- Resistance between orange and orange/black cable: 57 ohms
- Voltage between orange and ground = 20 V
- voltage between orange/black and ground = 0V
- voltage between orange orange/black = 80 V
And at the 2-pin connector:
- resistance between yellow and ground = 1,3 megohms
- resistance between yellow/white and ground = 0 ohms
- voltage between yellow and ground = 0V
- voltage between yellow/white and ground = 20V
Since the values form the stator are not the same as the requirements from the repair manual I removed the stator and could see a damage on the housing. The plastic was melted.
So the stator has been replaced.
But, not changes. Still the same issues with the engine. No changes to the spark and the engine still does not start.
I also tested a new ignition coil. The original is not available anymore, but I have a replacement. It did not help. Same issue.
I am thinking about to change the power pack, but am not sure if this is really the broken part. The voltage measurement shows 100V like describe in the repair manual but only for a short peak. The rest of the signal looks strange to me. But I do not have any experience with ignition systems.
I already spend 300 for a stator without success and do want to spend another 300 for a power pack without being sure that the part is bad.
Any idea or experience what to check?
I wrote a lot about the kill switch. To bypass the kill switch, I disconnected the harness from the power pack. Is that correct or is any shortcut between the two pins required?
Thanks to all!
Oliver
