Well I hope i got the last bugs figured out on the engine now. My new power pack will be in in the morning. It would be my luck to have a bad stator and power pack at the same time. I couldn't get all six to fire on start-up, and the quikstart wouldn't activate. So after testing the stator again to verify it was good, I finally put the fact that it has a newer pack on it already out of my head and tested the pack. Sure enough it is shot. I was getting 91 and 97 volts before from my stator, so figured that's why I didn't have good fire. I have 150 now, and am still only getting 80-90 on 5 of the pugs, but 125 to #1. I hope the pack fix's the other engine problems, not being able to use my new toy is pissing me off. Not to mention that all of this just adds fuel to the fire regarding the guy that sold me the boat and said it was turn key.

nope not the stator. lol you did as others spent extra money that motor has sat. you just needed to disconnect the timing /trigger from the advance rod, take the plugs out, have someone turn it over and you work the timing base back and forth very fast. you will see the plugs all start to fire. i've had several and seen several V6 usually motors do that. very common issue and everyone buys a new stator then power pack then a crank trigger lol only needed to work the one they had lol. good luck. running the motor will not fix it , you must work that trigger back and forth to fix it.

It was firing fine once it was running, it was getting it to run. Before stator replacement I had 0 volts on the QUIKSTART/SLOW coil, and 91 and 95 on the charge coils with the pack disconnected. I now have 200 volts coming out of the charge coils, And 18 out of the QUIKSTART/SLOW coil. So it did need the stator, but unfortunately the power pack still wouldn't go into QUIKSTART mode, and would only ocasionally fire all of the plugs on start-up. I pulled the pick-up coil off and made sure all was well with it before replacing anything, it was just bad luck I guess.

No scrubbin neccesary, I don't need a purdy boat.

I just put the new power pack on it, and voila. It all works now. I have my quikstart working now, and the fast idle on start-up really helps. It starts so much easier than my 140 does.

Wooohooo! That's great Ferm.
