is it 6 or 12 Amp Johnson 135hp stator

[g6ips3y]

I have a 76 135 hp johnson power tilt , and a parts motor that doesn't have power tilt ,or a tag with the serial and model number , I hope the parts motor has a 12 amp , is there a way to tell by looking at them? .

Check the model number of the engine. The 12 amp stator was installed on engines that had a 135643 model number. The 135683 models had the 6 amp stator. It was typical to find the larger stator on engines where the power trim was installed at the factory.

Thats the Issue the Tag with the model and serial number is missing . Is there another place on the motor where the model number is ?

There is a nickel sized welch plug with the numbers on the top of the port cylinder bank - it's partly hidden by the rack that holds the ignition components.

If the stators are green and potted, you may still find the part numbers stamped on the top.

Found the welch plug and it doesn't have numbers on it , Thansk for trying . I wonder what would happen if I just put the stator on My motor with the power tilt , ? What would happen if it was 6 amp ? And not 12 Amp?

Here is a picture of a typical casting plug on the top of the block.

I see the plug on My running 135 and it looks exactly like the pic , BUT the one on the parts motor is flat and doesn't have any writing , Is it possible it is installed upside down ? Thanks for all the help so far !!

Any chance it was a factory rebuild? (a factory warranty replacement) Many of them have a generic casting plug with no info. Those rebuilds have other identifications stamped on the top of the engine. The attached pic may be hard to see, but it is a factory rebuild the markings are 150S and the date code of: 6-13-95.

OK I'll Look , But I read the manual and happened to find a section that tells what the resistance is for each amp Stator . IE .75 +- .04 Ohms for a 9 Amp , Other reading for each Stator , But again not for the 12 Amp , BUT If the resitance is the same I will assume they are the same , The other problem is when I look at the running motor [cracked insulation on stator] it is a 135ETL76C , Iboats does not have a listing for that 1976 motor , But has a part listing for ALL 73 to 1975 135ETL hp as a 6 amp , 135 Electric tilt Longsaft , for 1975 say's 6 amp , What do you think ? I appreciate all your help !! And I enjoy playing with old outboards , I graduated from United Auto workers Transmission training , I have a mechanical clue ,And the old running 135 johnson has 135 PSI even compression and a good lower unit that does not leak .so I just can't make myself scrap it But I have to research all electrical , Again I appreciate all the help !

Why don't you try the Bombardier parts list website. epc.brp.com. It's Johnson section is missing that same information. When you get in there, look under the Evinrude section instead, for that same year, as it has the same info.

Well I think I figured it out !! Me a former transmision mechanic , ! HAH ! Both stators measure 1.6 ohms resistance ,Exactly ! The book says a 6 Amp is 1.3 +- .1 So I think since the boat motor runs its good , But the parts motor has WAY better spark . , The rectifier on the boat, ohm tested as bad though , HUH because the battery showed more volts when running , Thanks for all the effort !!
