I am replacing a missing stator on a 1983 Mariner 80 serial #5385748. A picture in color or a diagram with lead color and position would be most helpful.
Thanks for the diagram but I am unable to see the colors coming from the stator to the switch box. If I am looking at the top of the 4 wires going into the switch box would you give me the colors in order desending or from left to right on the diagram?
Well I noticed that my serial number is 5385748 and differs from what is listed on this diagram.
I was able to find the markings for the wires when I got a good light on it and put my reading glasses on.
I started the motor and checked the voltage on the battery and the voltage is jumping all over the place. From 18 to 14 and it is very jittery and will not stop jumping. I shut it down and checked the regulator and it show it is good but it seems to be almost like I am trying to read AC instead of DC. I am totally lost now as to what is happening. Any ideas?
