Motor stall beyond 3000 rpm-cuts out

[phatdaddy]

builder, do you have a volt gauge on your dash or electronics? is it reading above 13 vlts when running?

[BuilderFL]

Yes its closer to 13.6vdc and its coming from my furuno fish finder. On the voltmeter it's harder to tell, but its over the 12 volts

[phatdaddy]

ok. some times when you have stator issues, the charging system or the tach will act up.

If it were me I';d be looking to change the stator

phatdaddy, now that you mention the tachometer, I have been getting readings high in the 7k rpms at full throttle and was concerned. But then I connected an external tachometer and the readings were within normal parameters. Just thought I had a bad tachometer. Your think it may be tied to the stator?

[phatdaddy]

that would make me think stator then. does that motor have the 40 amp charging system?

Well got my DVA delivered (tooldiscounter.com) and all tests came in within the CDI parameters. However, I noticed that my lower carburetor was leaking lots of fuel...a stuck float that was cleaned and fixed. Also noticed that there was a water leak coming from behind the middle coils; a hole in the exhaust manifold cover. Took that out, will probably repair from the inside with JB Weld and when I get the gaskets and install them, will test it and keep you informed.
Do you think any of these problems could have cause the original symptoms as reported or just other stuff that needed attention?
