I am going through some steps to troubleshoot a no spark issue on my 1987 Johnson 120.
I checked for voltage on each brown stator wire while cranking engine..both showed voltage so it says the test FAILED and to check for grounded coil charge lead before replacing stator.
I do not know how to check for this..can someone please help?
How do I check for a grounded charge coil lead?
I also have some current flowing to the body of my regulator / rectifier I think (made another post on that)..but not sure and am not sure if this is all related.
I have ordered new parts (power pack, trigger and regulator) will order a stator too but am afraid there may be a short somewhere etc and I don't want to fry the new parts when they come in.
History..boat had a bad miss..loss of power and then had no spark at all...carbs and fuel system were fully gone through / replaced, ignition was never touched.
Thank you.
