OK, I will retest at cranking and check the readings. Thanks!

I got this other link to use as my guide. Gives both test modes http://www.outboardignition.com/support/174-5456-16.pdf Will check again this weekend when Im back home.

phatdaddy, thats great! But if you dont mind, I would like to hold off until I've deterimine correctly that the stator is the problem. THEFERM is now saying that he thinks that the readings should be taken cranking and not running like I did. I will be back home this weekend and will check...

No, Im taking them at idle running speep, at about 900-1000rpm.

Spare, so what does the high speed being way high indicates? A bad stator?

phatdaddy, I would absolutely will take it let me now if you find it. :nice:

spare, disconnected the bias wire between the switch boxes (BTW this is a 16 amp flywheel) and these are the max readings to ground with the DVA: blue=269v blue/white=284v red=198v red/white=177v What do you think?

I got it at Marine Connection Liquidators, http://www.themarineconnection.net/ Check them out. You will be amazed at the amount of marine items they have.

billymoca, it's doable. Go to the gallery under center console and look at my pictures. On page 2 you will see the original 50 gal tank (yellow) and on page 3 you will see how I got a 98 gal tank as well as 13 gal fresh water tank to work. Good luck!

Spare, it will be about two weeks before I can get to them. Will be working in San Francisco and then Albuquerque, but I did not remove the bias wire between the switch boxes. Maybe the reason for both to have similar readings.

Well got my DVA delivered (tooldiscounter.com) and all tests came in within the CDI parameters. However, I noticed that my lower carburetor was leaking lots of fuel...a stuck float that was cleaned and fixed. Also noticed that there was a water leak coming from behind the middle coils; a hole in...

phatdaddy, now that you mention the tachometer, I have been getting readings high in the 7k rpms at full throttle and was concerned. But then I connected an external tachometer and the readings were within normal parameters. Just thought I had a bad tachometer. Your think it may be tied to the...

Yes its closer to 13.6vdc and its coming from my furuno fish finder. On the voltmeter it's harder to tell, but its over the 12 volts

I just ordered a DVA adpter (ESP640) this morning thinking I was going to need it. I'll check the switch boxes today. Thanks guys! :beer:

1989 Mercury Black Max 200 HP I would take the boat out and I could get on plane with no problems, but after a while, the motor would bog out, and loose power, it would run about 9 mph and turn 2500 rpm. There will be times that after 5-10 minutes later, the motor will kick in and start running...

Not bad looking at all!

Feliz Navidad to all my fellow members.

Happy B-Day MJ on your big Five-0! :happy:

Thanks Guys! It's nice to be remembered. :beer: And yes I will get back to work on the V. Actually I took the week off to do some maint. work and fish, fish, and more fish!
