Hey guys! I wanted to thank you for all the help you gave me during my troubled times trying to regain spark on my Force 50. You guys taught me a lot about troubleshooting and the processes to go through. The Stator, Trigger and Rectifier were all ok so now I have spares that I hope to not need...
I just received the trigger and coil pack I found on eBay the other day. I'm gonna do the testing again since my new DVA adapter also came in today instead of yesterday. I will let you guys know what I found out later this evening when I come in from my shop. I hope I'm gonna be telling you how...
I ordered the DVA adapter yesterday and it shows it is out for delivery. It is compatible to my Fluke meter. I will attach it today and retest my trigger and see what it shows. I will return to the forum with my findings later today
I am going to check everything you guys mentioned above. I am confused a little about the adapter versus the meter I bought. In my service manual, it shows a DVA meter exactly like the one I bought. On the different options to select on the meter, one of them is DVA voltage. I will buy an...
Well I tested the trigger and I have 0 voltage coming from it. As per the service manual, it says to unhook all 4 trigger wires, attach the black lead to the red wire and the red lead to the green wire and crank engine. Says I should have .5 volts or higher and I had 0. It said if 0 volts...
I don't have a DVA adapter but I do have an analog DVA multimeter that does regular volts, amps and ohms as well. I bought it just for this project.
Since I had recently reglued the magnet back in place, that's the first thing I checked when I didn't have spark yesterday. It visually looked new...
On a side note, I will tell you how this issue all began. I had the engine running and was tuning the carb when a couple wires came off of my ignition switch somehow. The engine died and I could smell electrical wires burning so I hurried and unhooked the battery. The smoke I smelled was also...
Ok sir, back to the testing procedures. Just in case, the place where I found the stator from also had the trigger and 1 coil unit. I purchased both of them from them. I have been searching relentlessly for over a year now for parts for this particular motor and ran in to a dead end. I stumbled...
Well I got my stator today. Bench tested it and had 783 ohms across the blue wires, .5 ohms across the green. Installed it on the motor and installed flywheel. Checked voltage as per the service manual and got 290 volts on my analog meter and 286 on my Fluke. Checked spark and absolutely...
I will definitely check it good before installing it with my Ohm meter. I have a digital Fluke that measures in the thousands on ohms. The rectifier I bought is also from the same engine and it looks identical to mine. I may just keep it for a spare and continue to use the one I have already. I...
Jiggz, I went on eBay to search for a stator before I tried ebasicpower or crowleymarine to see if I could find one a little cheaper. Much to my amazement, someone had just put up a stator for model #507R8C and it is exactly like mine but it's used. My model # is 507Y8C. I purchased the used one...
I think it is safe to say my stator is bad. I'm looking for a stator now and found a CDI stator with 6 wires instead of the 4. It is what came up on CDI's website as well. Can you tell me what 4 wires to hook up once I get the stator? also, the outward appearance of the stator looks a little...
I tried to upload a picture of my stator but it says upload failed because the file could not be written to the server, the site administrator will have to resolve this before any files can be uploaded
