I am new to this post and am looking forward to hearing your guys opinion. The problem I am having is that both 15 amp battery fuses on my ski are blowing. I have a 15 amp fuse in the junction box at the rear of the ski and one up at the MPEM. As of now the fuse blows even when the key isn't in. It was suggested to me that it could be a short within the stator or the starter. So what I did was disconnect both. When I did that the fuses no longer blew. But when I plugged in the stater it blew the fuse.
Tonight I ran the tests on the stater as stated in my manual. What i found was that the resistance on the coils were about 1.5-1.7 ohms. Which is a little higher than what is speced in my book (should be .1-1ohms). The thing that really didn't match the book was that I had continuity across each stater coil and ground. What I am thinking is that where ever the short is it is common to all the coils, because I find in hard to believe that each coil would short out and go bad at the same time. Based off of that assumption and according to the blow-up diagram, that common piece could be the trigger coil.
What I don't know is what does the trigger coil do? Would you agree with my diagnosis? Any other thoughts or suggestions as to where the short could be?
Thanks for your help....
