I got a Mariner Marathon 40 HP, 2 Cyl, 2 Stroke, year:1998, S/N 0G600358.
The motor died and had no spark. After all testing, the stator was bad, so I changed it today. I install it in the very same position as the original, and the flywheel position is the same as the guide pin in the axle does not allow to install different.
After installing all, I did test voltage from stator and spark while cranking and all was ok. However when I did try to start it I got what I consider a explosion after a few pulls (3-4).
I rechecked all and tried again and the same, I got another explosion.
I checked the trigger position and I think it's the normal, though no sure if my kid screw in or out the pin connector to throttle and caused a mis-position of the trigger.
Could this be the reason? or it could be due too much gas going into the cylinder due the too many pull during the diagnostic and test.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
