Re: is my stator bad? or do i have another problem?
well just bought 3 more coils thanks to the lack of reply here.
Seems to me you got lots of replies and chose to ignore them. Now your asking for yet another handout? Send me a PDF manual??? Are you for real?
I rarely post on here because:
A: I search and read posts relevant to my engine
2: I take seriously the advice of those who know more than I do. AND
C: I found every single manual for every single marine engine have owned on this site without having to beg for it.
FYI I have fixed the following engines with advice from the generous and knowledgable users on this site without having to throw hundreds of dollars of parts at them:
1982 Mercury Classic 50 no spark, tested with DVA, switchbox replaced. Problem solved
1979 Mercruiser 140 (forgive me, I knew not what I bought) overheat problem, replaced heat exchanger. Problem solved. Boat traded for:
1988 Sea Ray Branded 135, no spark, replaced stator after DVA test. Problem solved. Recently replaced 1 switchbox after finally knowing what to look for after, hmmm..I dunno READING RELEVANT POSTS. (and the manual) Problem solved.
All this after not posting ONE SINGLE IDIOTIC THREAD ASKING FOR ADVICE AND THEN REFUSING TO TAKE IT.
Oh...and I need to mention the invaluable advice about the Radio Shack rectifier because, yea I'm a dumbass and occasionally get + and - mixed up.
Sorry for the rant. I just bugs me when people are just "more than capable" enough to make themselves dangerous.
Ether??!! Really??!!
hehe
Props to this site and the amazing people who spend their time helping out (former)noobs like myself.
I'm on the water this weekend thanks to iboats.com. How bout you?
