1995 110 johnson.
Stator had visible signs of rust between the ring layers and cracks in the plastic. I replaced the stator.
What used to be a 13 volt charge is now a 16 (sometimes 17) volt charge.
I do have 2 batteries on a switch both batteries 6 months old.
Part of the reason for the stator change was due to a significant power loss that occured the day before while out on a sunset run.
while at 3/4 throttle and good power, motor just dropped 2000RPM instantly, and has been sluggish ever since.
went out this morning, motor wont go past 4k, and is slow to get there. alot of motor headshake from idle through WOT.
rechecked timing. at idle: 4 degreees BTDC, reeves static test shows exactly 24BTDC. perfect.
I'm wondering now that i have a good stator and its making more voltage, might there be a correlation between the high voltage draw, and my overall loss of power? Does this sound like a poor ground issue?
today:
i checked the timer base resistances. white to others. all at 42ohms. at the edge of margin but within tolerance. (it is truly the only element on this motor i have not changed.)
swapped power packs. no change.
tested compression. all within acceptable range.
consistant and strong spark on all 4 plugs. (timing light / 7/16 gap test)
took carbs off, disassembled (again), used acetelyn tip cleaner rods to check all passages, checked floats, reassembled. nothing surprising there.
I am simply scratching my head on this one.
Dont really know where to turn besides replace the timer-base.
did i miss something to check?
thanks
