1978 evinrude 85hp v4 stator test

[Captain Nino]

I put my multimeter on ohms 20k. I checked the 2 short yellow wires to one another. They are zero. The 2 longer wires are 6.2.
i dont know the specs. Just wondering if it is good or not. Thanx

What is the motor doing / not doing ?

I don't know what the specs are either, but you need to learn how to use your multimeter. Set the range to the next higher number than what you expect to find. Setting it incorrectly gives funky readings. In your case, you might expect just a few Ohms on the yellow wires, so 20K is way more than you expect. Set it at an appropriate range and it should show 2 or 3 Ohms (or whatever it is supposed to be) On the other wires, you are getting 6.2K Ohms. That might be reasonable, but as I said, I don't know what the specs are.
