hello i have i have my grandfathers motor now, but it has no spark and it means alot to mean ,i just cant get rid of it. so i was hoping someone on here could help me get it going again.it turns over fine it has 135psi on each cyl but no spark
If yours is like mine, there are two wires that go from the pulse pack up along the advance arm and under the flywheel to the sensor. On mine the flexing of the advance arm and age caused the wires to crack and ground to the advance arm right at the hold down clip. I was able to pull the flywheel and distributor and replace the wires.
You have several componets under the flywheel, points, dist cap, rotor, anti-reverse spring and some wiring. There are several more componets bolted to the block, amplifer, coil, safty circut and a lot of wiring. To acturately check out your system it might be best to get the OEM manual and use the troubleshooting section to find out what is wrong with your engine.
thanks ill check that,i know that my gradfather replaced the pulse pack,but when i started working on this i noticed afew wires where showing or should i say chewed through but i replaced everything that i saw that was bare. I realy appreatiate all of your guy's help on this, like i said this motor means everything to me. can anybody help me by sending me a wiring diagram on this motor? i want to learn everything i can about this.
If indeed it's a 69 115 (no model number given) it does not have points, it has a magnetic sensor that replaces the points. If you already found chewed up wires, I would make sure all of them are sound before going further. The two wires I referred to are the two black (on mine) that go from the pulse pack up onto the advance arm.
i have the serial number and the model number as well / the serial # is E05628 and the model number i as fallows / 115983E does this help with this communication on this motor? and could anyone also tell me if the extra wire from harness from the shifter has one purple one lose, where does this connect to?
Your motor is the same as mine, look at your shift switch, there should be a purple (12v) green and blue wire connected to it. This does the shifting. This motor is in forward with the motor off and goes into neutral as soon as it starts cranking.
I would still look for bad wiring first. The only other possible place for that purple wire that I can think of is for the choke, if the button is in the remote.
ok thank you,now does anyone have a wiring diagram on this motor they can send me?or tell me exactly what book to get on the motor that would have everything i need to find out what is going on with this motor that has realy good wiring diagrams about this motor as well?
outboardbooks is published by ken cook co. and, as I understand it, are reprints of the original omc workshop manuals as he bought the rights to them when omc went under...omc original workshop manuals are the ones you are looking for either from them or for sale on ebay
