91 Merc v135 still acting up

[tsubaki]

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.

when you find a dead cylinder by pulling the spark plug wire, you can determine if its dead from lack of fire, or some other issue. If you find you have two cylinders that have no fire, you look at the trigger, three on one side, look at the switch box. If you have two side by side that have fire but are dead, you may have a flooding carb( or no fule to the carb). You can fine tune your diagnosis by using a spray bottle with soem gas in it. Once you find the offending cylinders, spray a little gas down the carb throat, if the cylinder picks up, you know its not getting fuel. You get the idea?
