good luck with that one...unless there was a written contract...a stator and flywheel magents still sounds like a good deal... they were gonna need replacing eventually

The bummer was they were supposed to have just been done. He used a green fiber type adhesive that looked just like FIBERGLASS body shop adhesive. Bonded very poorly. All six fell out when the flywheel popped loose. I'll see how the BOMBARDIER stuff does, it's setting up now. I hade to replace a broken magnet as well. I did notice that the new BOMBARDIER stators are builty like the MERC stators without the black potting in them. I also can't get over how somebody who is supposed to be a JOHNNY-RUDE expert cannot link and sync a looper. I have yet to work on one that was synced right after having somebody else work on em. I mean come on now, they even put marks on em to line up the dots basically.

2 part 5 min epoxy from Lowes will hold them in better than OMC crap. plus much cheaper and are you talking about the magnets location in the flywheel? those outside magnets don't have a set location they don't matter only the center core magnet ring matters. the outside 6 are only charging for the battery and the coils. the center times the motor. the outside 6 only need an even gap at each point. oh and you actually don't need glue. they make a plastic snap in ring that holds the magnets in place forever no glue and never a worry of loose ones again.

I looked for the plastic ring, but go figure can't find one when i need it. The center magnet for the timing is fine. The outers is what fell out. One was broken as well. I already got em glued back in and setting up. The stuff they included in the package seems like some pretty good stuff. It's already set up pretty hard. I know the stuff that came with the replacement magnet I got was different than the stuff he sold in the old OMC packs. And my problem was low voltage to the charge coil, pick-up coils had good output to the pack.

And the marks I was talking about had to deal with the linkage on the carbs. I can't get over how some people set these things up with the butterfly's slightly opened, and then retard the timing back to make them idle. I line up the marks and set them like my CLYMER says, and they all run like a top.

oh yeah or better yet people have one bank of carbs slightly open and the others shut lol get them carbs in sync lol.

Yep, thats another one of my pet peeves. It's not like it is that hard to break out the book and set the marks, but if your supposed to be a JOHNNY-RUDE guy you should know how to do it. It always amazes me what some of these guys down here do to these engines, and then wonder why they start like crap, or won't idle without coughin and smokin. Not to mention you get the people that set the timing to 14 degrees and then tell you the engine is wore out and needs rebuilt. Then they charge you $2K and set the timing back where it should be. I've seen some pretty shady things down here in the sunshine state.

Good luck with the new work, ah I mean boat Ferm. Seems like everyone I ever got myself had an issue or three to take care of.
