Hi there,
Just looking for some advice on how to check my ignition system. My boat stalled towing a skier at 4000 RPM and after this it won't idle very well and WOT is now 4000RPM instead of 5400 RPM. Sounds like I am missing a cylinder. My mechanic was testing my stator this spring and he found it was just within specs but felt the readings didn't hold very steady so I kind of expected it to go at some point.
I don't own any of the tools so I am going to do the following:
1. Buy a spark tester and run test.
2. Buy a DVA meter to verify if my CDI stator is within their specs. I am going to do this without actually running the engine.
Can you think of anything else I can check on my own? Oddly I am hoping my stator fails the test so I can swap it and the switchbox out. More piece of mind knowing those parts are new anyway.
Thank you.
Russ
