Good afternoon,
I'm having issues trying to identify what the issue starting my 1997 Johnson 40 hp. So initially, I replaced the stator cause it was determined that it was defective. Then the motor started fine but was overheating and was determined that the rectifier/regulator was defective which was causing voltage to go to the stator. I double checked the stator and the resistance was still fine on all wire and still produces voltage.
My new rectifier arrives, I plug everything in and now it doesn't want to start at all. There is no fire at the spark plugs at all and disconnected the kill switch wire to isolate that and still no spark.
Now I tried to see if there was power coming out of the orange/blue wire (coils) and I guess you need a peak voltage multimeter cause I was getting between 0.5 volt to 1.7 volt when cranking.
Should I disconnect the rectifier/regulator and see if that works or is there another way to check the power pack. Or does anyone have any idea what could be the issue.
