Hi Forums,
I'm a newbe who rebuilt a Merc 60, 1989. 0B396723. I cant find any ohm testing on this forum specific to my situation so I apologize if I'm redundant.
Motor fires up instantly. runs decent on the water, only 28mph at 5,800rpm (10-13 prop) pushing a 17ft deepV tracker, a bit heavy from rain at the time I took it out. I've always been curious about testing the stator, trigger and coil. I replaced my recitifier already because I was getting any battery charge..I am now.
I'm new to these forums and I have learned a lot that has saved me time and money! Its nice to have this resource!
I used a multimeter for the resistance testing. The R values thing really confuses me. Please help me review my results. I feel like the motor runs slightly rough but i think I'm choking the motor with a high float setting..which I'm correcting today. Also, I have to move the throttle control about 1/2 way before the RPM's pickup, I would think the RPM range should be distributed across the length of the throttle movement..I know that's not on topic but if anyone can direct me to a topic on that it would be great.
Okay, here are my results I'm hoping I dont need to replace anything.. motor was cold. air temp 65.
STATOR: I only have a red, blue and two yellow leads.
Between red-blue= 5.86 (at 20k setting), Manual calls for 3.6-4.2 at Rx1000
Red to Ground= 145 (at 200 setting) Manual calls for 90-140 @rx1
* I think my stator is okay based on this??
TRIGGER: Manual calls for 11-14 at Rx100
All between white/Black. tested 2k and 20k (200 didnt give me any readings)
Brown= 1.225(2k), 1.21(20k)
White= 1.225, 1.21
Violet=1.225, 1.21
Atleast they are all consistent. If I move the decimal one to the right I'm exactly within spec. This is where my lack of multimeter conversion knowledge isnt any good !
IGNITION COIL:
between + and - = .5 on all three at the 200 setting and at 20k I get a quick flash of .03-.07. (Maual says .02-.04 at Rx1)
coil tower to either =0 (manual says no continuity)
Again, all consistent but the conversions puzzle me.
Thank you for any feedback on these results.
