Hi. I have a johnson 90 v4 1982. It runs like new. and I use it efvery two weeks (+ or -) however, a couple months ago it started doing something strange. after the 2 week rest, it won´t start. I do the tests and it shows no spark or very little (it had the SP gap too big, solved that), but when I test it with a "spark meter" it sparks but it needs the dots very close together. in other words it has low spark. tha weir thing is that after a few (or a lot) tries it starts, ant then it runs the whole weekend perfectly, it starts right away, even after the night. then the next weekend, the same problem,etc.<br />some guy there told me it was the stator, that got "discharged" which i don´t much believe since he wanted to charge me to fix it. but since it is a solenoid, not a magnet, i shouldnt discharge. <br />anybody has any ideas? <br />thanks for the help
