hi, have tried reaching out to the boys in the fb groups but seems no one wants to help!
i was riding in some waves and ended up tipping the boat causing the lanyard to unhook and myself to fall off the side. When i got back on, the ski would crank endlessly but wouldn't start.
I brought it home and turned it over without the plugs but there were no signs of water ingress.
I checked for spark and no luck.
since then, i have replaced the ignition coil with one i had on hand, replaced the kill switch, although if the ski cranks i believe this confirms the post is ok (non DESS)
I have also replaced the MPEM with an OEM one i had on hand.
Eventually smartened up and decided to test the ignition circuit. The MPEM test fine as i have unhooked the wire from the MPEM to ignition coil and cranked it with no spark so the rev limiter / kill switch are not taking away my spark.
This leaves the ignition coil or the ignition portion of the stator.
My main question is, with a fully charged, new battery, what voltage should be reaching the ignition coil at the spade connector from the stator? it is 0v static and while cranking it goes up to around 9v
I have read that if it is under 10.5 v to the coil, it won't send spark to the plugs. Can anyone confirm if this is the case and if so, would this mean the stator is not generating enough voltage or should i be looking elsewhere?
Also, from reading the shop manual, i am to check the ohms coming from the black red wire from the 4 pin deutsch connector from the stator to see if they are between 46 and 70 ohms.
Really looking for any advice here before i pull the flywheel and inspect the stator.
Thanks!
