"I was on plane 4800 rpm when the motor stumbled a bit, 3 seconds later it quits outright. Can't start it. check fuel for water etc. Sound like not spark so we cover her up and get a tow.
In the driveway I check for spark using a single spark tester on each of the 4 wires - Nothing.
Pulled the black yellow wire of the back of my keyswitch still no spark.
Pulled the 2 yellow from the regulator to power pak to stator - nothing.
Charge coil test
- pulled to plug from the stator to pak - meter set to 500v red probe to brown wire going to stator black probe to ground reads 1 on vac 0 on vdc same on brown yellow lead.
- output test while probing brown and brown/yellow shows ~130v That's low
- resistance test I get 1080 ohms across the brown and brown/yellow - no continuity from either brown lead to ground.
The motor is a 60degree looper with optical ignition. I think the stator may be fried, just looking for some advice from more experience folks on the board. I read on this board that the optical timing sensor was the issue for another boater. Tried to get to it and I'm having a problem removing the timing wheel, took the bolt out but the wheel just won't come free. I don't want to damage it, any tricks to pulling the timing wheel? This is not the fly wheel it's just a wheel about 6inch diameter with timing marks on it.
I'm going to test the power pack but need to pick up a resistor? I'll post results.
I know it's a really long message, thanks for reading."
