Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

[ob]

Not Joe Reeves or an electrical buff ,but open reading or infinity reading between the two yellow wires would indicate an open winding which is bad.Ohm reading between the two yellow leads disconnected from the terminal block should be between 450-600 range.<br /><br />Not sure whether you are saying that yellow wires are common to ground or reading infinity.They should read infinity.A reading of 0 ohms or 'no resistance'would indicate a shorted winding,which is also bad.

Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

Hi Joe I have read many of your answers to people <br />and followed many of your tests the one I would appreciate feed back on is as follows if possible.<br /><br />You had written the following on another thread<br /><br />"The stator yellow wires.... Ohm meter on high ohms. You should <br />obtain a reading between them but not between either of them and ground. This <br />would indicate the stator is fine."<br /><br /><br />Result: yellow wires at terminal block from the stator y/g & <br />y when red test lead to one, black test lead to the other reading of 0.00 no <br />resistence. same result when tested the other way around.<br /><br /><br />yellow/grey tracer wire on position 6 of <br />terminal block, when red test lead to yellow/grey, black test lead to <br />ground = no resistance<br /><br /><br />yellow wire on position 5 of terminal block, <br />when red test lead to yellow black test lead to <br />ground = resistance <br />reads at about 22-30 and bounces around alot. This could be the <br />problem<br /><br />would you be kind enough to comment on the above results<br /><br />Engine is a 1977 115 Johnie V4 115el77<br />the original thread is<br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=027536 <br /><br />Kind regards Chris

Re: Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

With the ohm meter leads connected between the Yellow wire and the Yellow/Gray wire, the reading should be almost like a direct short.... really slaming that meter needle across the scale.<br /><br />If indeed, you are not obtaining a reading at all, there is no need to test further. The stator wiring is open.... replace the stator.

Re: Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

Try a different range on the meter. May have had it set to too low a range Chris. ob has given you the range to look for.

Hi Joe , Ob and Obj<br /><br />Thankyou very much guys, your advice is priceless<br />Ill try retesting that to double check and test on all ranges just to be sure, I think i did anyway but best to be sure.<br />Recognising where the fault is will save a packet opposed to throwing many parts at the motor to try and get it going.<br />Great forum, made even better by guys like you putting in the effort to help us with only limited knowlege, keep up the good work.

Re: Question for Joe Reeves or Electrical buffs

it is possible with the excess heat the sensors may be grounding on a deformed shield r .j has a trick for adjusting them under thread 85 johnson need help, sensors out of ajust can cause no spark ,sorry don't know how to pop the thread over motors are my thing not computers
