Hello,
I have a 1996 Mercury 225 offshore (225 HP (3.0L Carburetor) > 0D280813 - 0G760299). The stator has failed. The proper part number is 398-821935A 3. However, this is NLA. It has the part number 398-821935A 5 as its replacement. HOWEVER, the connectors are different. The old stator plugged into the 12 pin harness, and the stator is the "female" side of the connection. on the new stator (398-821935A 5) the stator is male only 6 pin, and all the white wire leads go to a post connection that looks like it may go to ground? Has anyone had to chance the engine harness to work the wiring of the new stator? Is there a method for wiring this new stator?
It looks like the green leads from the new stator are color coded so they go to the right coil/ cylinder. Also on the new stator, as I stated above, has all the white wires going to a post connector which I assume would go to ground? The old harness had all 12 wires going into the connector, and all wires dent directly to the coils.
Is it as simple as the white leads are all ground? As in the old harness, the stator coils were actually grounded through the harness, and the new one has them grounded to the block?
Here is a picture of the old stator
Here is a picture of the new:
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
