So we could not find a new trigger base from CDI. I told them that we have 5 wires and also gave him the color of each wire. I must not be talking with a guy that actually works there because I'm sure that by telling him the wire color and the number of wires they should know exactly what I'm talking about. The issue is that the serial # decal is not present on this 90hp Johnson.

Hello friend, I follow your channel because I have a johnson ocean runner 200 hp and it worked perfectly but one day after I was walking I stopped accelerating, I tried but I could not, I realized that the flywheel did not turn as before I disassembled it and all the magnets were loose Before that process, change all the plugs of the spark plugs and coils and also campie the plugs of the cdi power pack that connect to the spark plugs, until then it had current but it came out again and there the problem began, I lost the current in My spark plugs and the only thing left to change is the base cdi timer, because I tried other cdi power packs but none of them work, that is to say that this is not my problem and the stator and flywheel are new

Need to use a pin extractor tool rather than a nail to remove the pins in the timer base plug pins. When pushing pins out with a nail the locking tab on the pin is damaged. This results in the pins pushing back out when connecting the male and female plugs which you experienced in the video. They make extractor tools for a reason & this is it.

Yes, it would be MUCH better to use the pin extractor tool to do this. These pins had sleeves and then the pin slid inside them. They were fine and weren't damaged.

the stevens st-77 load adapter is my 1st test after disconnecting the stop wires to rule out the stop switch. you need a dva of course, the adapter, and coil terminal extenders. that way you can test the pack output and eliminate a possibly bad ignition coil in 2 easy tests. the DVA adapter is a must, as you know, especially for testing sensor coils as they are a very low voltage. the problem with resistance is you can get an out of spec reading, but that particular ignition component will still work fine and it was something else. I do see they replaced your stator with a CDI one in the past. I try get NOS parts when i can. CDI has gone down in quality in the past 5 years. OEM is absolutely better 100%. noticed your bearing on the CDI timer was sticking... yeah they never fit right i always use the old one just a clue they arent made that well. ive had many CDI failures over the years. I do urge you to do a voltage test for the kill wires. simply hook up your meter to each kill wire (2 in total) and flick the ignition key off and on a few times. anything over 2 volts and it will fry your pack and / or timer from said bad pack (blown diodes go right into the delicate sensor coil). great video cheers!

Any thoughts if it could be stator or timer base for my issue? 1978 115 Evinrude that gets up on plane then loses power and bogs down. Both stator and timing base have the proper ohms when tested. Has new fuel lines, pickups, fuel pump so we dont think its the a fuel issue. Starts up perfect just cant get up on plane. Replaced both power packs as well. Any thoughts?
@MattsShop Жыл бұрын
It's always the fuel check to see if there is a hidden fuel pickup filter somewhere. Make sure the timer base rotates freely. If it can't fully advance against the WOT stop exactly this will happen. Dont adjust it unless you know how to reset the WOT timing.
