well it's been awhile since i was on here. the last time i asked for help was back in 06.
back then a member named JUSTINTIME walked me through all the tests to see why my engine wouldn't start. turned out i need a switch box and stator.
CLAMS was also a big help too.
now i have a 87 60hp motor that is in a boat my dad got and it wont start also.
here's the problem and i know this is a stupid question but i forgot how to read a multimeter. the last time i used was with my boat in 06.
in my seloc book in the stator checks section.
it says to read the wires with the ohm scale at
Rx 1000
R x 1
but on my digital multimeter the ohms scale reads
200
2k
20k
200k
2m
20m
200m
which ones would i set it at to achieve the R x 1000 and R x 1
also the wires coming from the stator are falling apart and corroded. i should replace the stator no matter if it's bad or not?
it's getting fuel and i have power coming to the engine. i held a spark tester and got no spark
thanks for any info you guys could give me.
one more thing i just want to make sure i have the right year and HP
the serial number is OB15712. can you tell me if i have it right?
