    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    When I put my two leads on the two blue wires, my meter goes all the way across to the zero. same thing happened when I put the leads on the yellow/green stripe wires. same thing when I checked the two yellow/ green striped wires still attached to the rectifier.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    I checked the ohms on everything that had copper on it or to it and the blue/blue wires and the yellow/green wires and everything showed 0 ohms. double checked the meter to make sure I had it calibrated at exactly zero and still o ohms. where I am uncertain at is where are the charge coils? I...

    I will clean the flywheel and magnet surface area with carb cleaner to get all the residue off of it then wipe it real good again with alcohol to make sure its clean and oil free. Thank you for replying and helping me out. This project means a lot to me. My kids spent a lot of time in this boat...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Jiggz, thank you for the intel. I took a pic of your instructions and will follow them to a T once I get the boat pulled back in to my shop. I have never had to test or mess with a stator before in my life so this is a good learning tool for me. You guys have been so helpful and I really...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    As a matter of fact, when I pulled the flywheel off to inspect the stator and trigger, part of my mag strip came out too. half of it stayed in the flywheel. I just tucked it back in place and reinstalled the flywheel. There shouldn't be any way for it to move since it butts up to the other half...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Jiggz, hey I unhooked the stop wire off of the terminal and checked for spark. Both cylinders are still dead. After I tried that today, I remember trying that once before based off of info I found in one of the forums. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm going to go ahead and find a stator for...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Nordin, I do not have the CDI box. I just have the two coils and they are pretty much obsolete. I have not been able to find them either. On the bottom of my stator it says it is a Prestolite stator.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    I want to say the voltage should be around 130 volts and I only had around 100. Like I said, I forget the exact numbers but I do remember I was about 30 volts short of what they said should be coming from my stator.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    Ok, I see. When I wired up the new ignition switch, I did not hook up the safety lanyard switch because I am going to have to replace the switch itself. At the time, I was going to come back to that before putting it on the water. I had unhooked it and forgot where to wire it up so I just left...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    also in response to your question, I lost spark on both cylinders. as per the service manual, I tested the voltage and came up way short on what the output was supposed to be. I forget exactly what that voltage was off the top of my head.

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    my model number is 507Y8C. I have the 1988 C model not the D that came after. Great intel on the wires being connected together internally. I appreciate you guys helping me out. I do my own mechanic work on my classics and Harleys but this boat has been a little more challenging.

    Stator

    WOW! That is definitely my stator. Thank you so much for replying to me. It's just short of $600.00 so I am going to continue looking for an after market one that will work. I have tried CDI and they don't have it so off to Sierra I will go. At least if push comes to shove, I know where to get...

    Stator

    Would anyone know what stator I could use to replace my OEM. It's a 1988, 507Y8C US Marine Force 50hp. I've read in the forums where guys have used a stator that was different but they were able to make a different one work. One guy had installed one with 6 wires and was able to swap wires...

    1988 50 hp force no spark?

    I have searched eBay and all other sites I could find. Would anyone have any suggestions on where I could find a stator for my 1988, 50hp, US Marine Force engine? Model number 507Y8C. I've had nothing but trouble finding parts for this engine and frustrated is mildly putting it. My stator is a...

    restoring documentation

    I am hoping someone out there can help me out with my restoration. I have a 1988 Blue Fin Bass Dominator with a Force 50 outboard engine that I have owned since 1991. Blue Fin doesn't even have a facility in the U.S. and sold to a company based out of Australia with the same name. I have it...
