    No Spark After a Short - '89 50hp

    The boat is fixed, just closing this out. I called CDI, the tech there gave me an outstanding tip that is not in the manual. Since I had 0 volts in the DVA...and the resistances all checked out...disconnect the stator at the terminal. Check stator for specified DVA! Brilliant...immediately told...

    No Spark After a Short - '89 50hp

    I got a DVA and tried measuring voltage across the trigger and stator. I measured 0 volts... checked the gauge in an AC outlet and it works fine. Tried removing the blk/ylo kill wire at the harness... no change... even swapped batteries, also rechecked grounds... magnet does spin with the...

    Ok true, thanks...I don't have a puller (yet) so if I assume they are CDI given the readings...what should I look into next?

When hooking everything back up, I skipped the thinking step and shorted out the battery (had the two large diameter wires both on negative and then went to hook up the smaller gauge wires and it sparked at me...oops :oops:)...

    Lower shift rod came out of gear shift arm...re-assemble?

    It seems a special puller is needed for the bearing cage. The puller is no longer available. Any other tips or tools to get this out? Looks like maybe a crankshaft damper puller kit might work?

    Lower shift rod came out of gear shift arm...re-assemble?

    Ok thank you for the reply! Would this assembly always require a new seal kit, or if currently solid with clean oil should it be ok?

    Lower shift rod came out of gear shift arm...re-assemble?

    Hello! While changing the impeller on my 1989 Force 50, I somehow must have spun the gear shift arm enough for it to come out of the nut in the gear shift arm/coupling (the rod comes right out of the lower unit). I've tried to simply spin it back in, but that nut must have rotated away or...
