Re: NO SPARK Sea Rayder Mercury Sport Jet 90
Help!
I have a sport jet 90 that was running fine until starting it one day at the boat ramp.
While the engine was turning, it started shedding the flywheel magnets. I took the boat home and removed the flywheel. The flywheel magnets were all missing except for one (they appeared to be glued-on). The red stator was damaged from the magnet fragments. I purchased a new flywheel and red stator, installed a spark tester and cranked. No spark! I purchased a DVA adapter for my multi-meter and the highest reading that I am getting is 60 volts. I replaced the starter and battery to assure that I had maximum cranking speed and voila-----no spark and still only 60 volts! Is it possible that I received a bad (new) red stator or am I missing something obvious? Anybody in south Florida to recommend to take the boat to; I am out of ideas?
I have removed the flywheel three times to verify that I have aligned the stator properly. I have changed the trigger and voltage regulator and have disconnected the black/yellow wire from the rev limiter for testing purposes. The stator resistance tests within range (about 600 Ohms). Are there supposed to be six magnets (end-to-end) inside of the flywheel for a three cylinder (my old flywheel was too battered to tell)? This engine does not have a switchbox; the stator green/white and white/green wires goe directly to the coil assemblys.
I appreciate all and any information that you may offer!!!
