Re: more power/higher rpm with new stator?
Water test results: Finally got in the water and boat idled great and ran good. Noticed smoother running overall. gained about 100 rpm WOT, not enough to go back to 17" prop, oh well. One problem, when I first backed trailer in water and got on boat to start she cranked but I had no spark! Checked all connections and decided to pull it home and recheck everything. I retested new stator first and had only 15 volts DVA with it connected. Un did two browns to power pack and retested. got 209 volts. though maybe PP was bad. Swapped out with old PP and got 190 connected. Put other PP back on and got same 190 connected. The only thing I can think of is one ground wire was pinched under PP hold down screw the first time and I had a bad ground connection. I fired up on hose and she ran great and I jiggled all connections and the wiring harness to see if anything else would cause my problem, but found nothing. Water tested fine. Even fished and shut down and restarted many times with no problem. Hope I just had that bad ground and all is well.
