Hello all.
no spark on my boat, have checked compression power pack,coils,plugs,plug wires and it all checks out.

So I checked my stator resistance today and found some really odd numbers.
tested these circuits when cold and after heating up the engine.
COLD
brown to brown/yellow 55,700k ohms
orange to orange/black 418 ohms

HOT
brown to brown/yellow 862 ohms
orange to orange/black 430 ohms

The normal range for brown wires is 600-850 ohms
and 450-550 for the orange ones per CDI manual.

How can the ohms be so high and still start the engine? once it warms up it gets close to spec.

any ideas?

thanks!
