Can't seem to get much input (if any) on my posts. I'm new at this, let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks much. <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 15 | From: Yorktown, Va | Registered: Nov 2003 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />steelespike <br />Admiral <br />Member # 8805 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 04:59 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />I didnt have much luck finding your posts.<br />Try bumping them back to the top maybe someone will respond.<br /><br />--------------------<br />Spike <br /><br />"When you work on an outboard<br />without a manual you have a fool for a mechanic"<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 1602 | Registered: Apr 2002 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />steelespike <br />Admiral <br />Member # 8805 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 05:17 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />I found your posts.While they may not have solved your problems it seems you have had some good responses.Did you check the interupter switch?<br />Im not much help on the newish stuff I do mostly 50s and 60s.motors.Is it possible to switch components between right to left side and see if problem follows?<br /><br />--------------------<br />Spike <br /><br />"When you work on an outboard<br />without a manual you have a fool for a mechanic"<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 1602 | Registered: Apr 2002 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />clanton <br />Admiral <br />Member # 2789 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 05:56 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />From reading some of you post, I think your trouble shooting method is whats wrong. You dont give us any numbers from your test results with the proper meter. <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 2730 | From: Immokalee,Florida | Registered: Jul 2001 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />8up <br />Captain <br />Member # 34969 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 06:13 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Where is the interupter and what does it do? I haven't seen anything about that in my manual. Like I said I'm new at this outboard stuff, but I am trying to go about it in a methodical way. I dont have the electrical equipment to check outputs and from what I have read a Fluke digital meter won't work right. Any other help would be great. This sight is fantastic and there is alot of knowledge here. Thanks Again <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 15 | From: Yorktown, Va | Registered: Nov 2003 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />8up <br />Captain <br />Member # 34969 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 06:23 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />sorry, I did a sensor coil resistance test and each reading(a,b,c,d) to "e" was 40.5 ohms. And each showed nothing to ground. I also did a charge coil resistance check and I don't remember the exact no. but it was in the spec in my manual (560 ohms + or - 25 ohms). The only thing that was not in speck was the ignition coil resistance check. Each coil(4) on the primary terminal to ground was .3 to .4 ohms the book says .1 + or - .05ohms. Again this is a 1986 140 hp. Thanks Much <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 15 | From: Yorktown, Va | Registered: Nov 2003 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />rodbolt <br />Captain <br />Member # 32169 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 07:09 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />hello<br />dude<br />fix the mechanical before you chase the electrical.130-115 is to large a spread. do a leak down test .<br />clean the carbs but nothing will work as long as the engine is not mechanically sound. a cylinder leak down test will tell if the leakage is excessive. if the comprerssion came back with oil it tells me you have a leak in that cylinder. pull the head and have a look if nothing else.<br />Good luck and keep posting <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Posts: 648 | From: Kitty Hawk NC | Registered: Sep 2003 | IP: Logged <br /> <br />8up <br />Captain <br />Member # 34969 <br /><br /> posted November 12, 2003 08:28 PM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />rodbolt,<br />how much of a job is that to pull the head?
