Hi ya?ll. Longtime member (my old account was so old it got deactivated and made me create a new one today) but I don?t post much, usually my answers are found by searching!
I have a 1993 Johnson 60HP 3 cylinder model TJ60TLETD that lost all spark. I don?t have the meter necessary to measure the spikes in the powerpack just a regular sears multi-meter nor am I sure I understand how to..my boat ran fine all last year and for several years before without a hiccup. I have NO idea if this is related but I was working on the rear navigation light on my pontoon mounted on the bimini top and I looked down and saw white smoke coming from the engine cowl. I jumped off and immediately took the cover off, it wreaked of fried electronics but I could NOT pin point a warm area or where it was coming from. It only lasted a few seconds and dissipated rather quickly. I had not started my boat prior to that this year, and when I went to start it a couple days after that (once I finally located the keys) it turns over like crazy, well over the 250-300 RPM needed but I have no spark on any cylinder..only thing I can think is MAYBE when I saw that smoke I somehow shorted the light the pole, causing the wire to melt and melt the black/yellow wire and apply voltage to the power pack. I have not found any faults in the wire yet nor have I found any trace of voltage on that wire. I have pulled the red cable connector and tried, unplugged all connectors from the power pack in all combinations and still no spark anywhere.
I know this could be stator, regulator or powerpack, I find it hard to believe I lost all 3 coils at once. Anyone have any advice before I start throwing money at it? Do I need a special puller to get the flywheel off? How do I test the stator? I tried metering the powerpack according to the pdf I got from CDI electronics but my meter doesn?t do spikes, how do I test the regulator? It the white smoke ironic or did I fry something?! ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
