91 Merc v135 still acting up

[spareparts]

find out if you are dropping a cylider and which one. Buy a set of ignition pliers, they have rubber coated handles and they are made for grabbing spark plug wires so you can pull one wire off at a time to see which cylinder is dead( it wont make any difference when its pulled off). Take a sugestion, hook a string to those pliers, you will eventually get hit by the ignition, it only hurts for a short while, but you tend to throw the pliers in the water when you get zapped

And don't worry, you won't pee on yourself.
THE SHOCK LOCKS UP EVERYTHING!!

[phatdaddy]

If you do get shocked, that cyl is firing,
proceed to the next one.............

Wouldn't the spark checker do the same thing minus the shock?

Yea but not as fun!! Have you ck the stator??

[BRIELLY]

I will try to test the stator tomorrow although I will probably have to do it while the problem is occuring. BTW how do you check the stator. Ive read the seloc manual but its a bit confusing.

Ohm meter for resistance checks, and then a PRV for total output. MERC's are known for stator problems as they use a split stator system. One side handles the 3000 RPM's- and the other side handles 3000 RPM's+. The high RPM side normally causes the most grief from what I have heard, but a low side can definately cause trouble.
