Lettin the cat out of the bag

[Skools Out]

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.

When i can un bankrupt myself. I didn't expect it was going to need a stator and power pack. One or the other wouldn't have gotten me so bad, but both got me pretty good. The odds are about 100,000:1 that both would need replacing, but it would be my luck to have a bad coil in the stator and a bad pack with no QUIKSTART.
