I have a 98 200HP Evinrude Ocean Pro. I was out on the lake and while on plane the motor stalled. It would start right up then stall in 3 seconds. The controls were sticking bad and it was very tight to get out of neutral. I fired it up and pushed it all the way down and it only ran 8mph. Put it in neutral and it stalled. Went to go again and something snapped, ended up being the throttle cam. Part no longer available so I bought a used binnacle control and checked the cables. Both seemed fine, but now I have no spark at the plugs. It turns over, but there is nothing going to the coils. The controls do not have the key or kill switch on them, I checked and the wires are all in place at the kill switch and key. Is there a fuse or something that could be out. I have ordered a Seloc manual, just trying to look for the obvious. I noticed these two wires exposed under the flywheel, doesn’t look right but I cant see how they would have just got like this on their own.
motor has a stator which creates the electricity
part of it goes to the rectifier to charge the battery, part goes to the power pack
it has a trigger, which acts like a crank position sensor telling power pack when to fire which cylinder
then it has a powerpack, which send fire to the coil
Just figured I would post what the problem was. I gave up and took the boat to Blackwater Marine in Irmo. The Stator was fried. There are 8 bolts on the timing base. 6 fell out and the last two were sheared off. I hope to be back on the water this weekend, depending on when they get the gasket kit.
those are not timer base bolts
the flat head screw between the fingers are the timer base screws
those missing bolts are what hold the upper bearing carrier
if those bolts are having issue, something is causing ALOT of vibration
There were no signs of the missing bolts anywhere. I actually think they were never there. If they fell out I don’t see how they would disappear. Does it seem like there should be enough torque there to shear off 2 bolts?
yes
that is the casing that holds the seals and upper bearing for the crank shaft
maybe the motor has been worked on before, and they didn’t get reassmbled
