This stator is constructed to provide the ignition system with a stable electrical source during starting, acceleration, idle operation, and sustained running. The design priorities are especially important on Mercury/Mariner applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Construction Details

• High-temperature insulation helps protect the windings from heat cycling inside the engine cowling.
• Sealed construction helps reduce moisture intrusion that can lead to weak spark or no-spark conditions.
• Laminated core sections help concentrate magnetic flux from the flywheel magnets for reliable electrical production.
• Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.

Operating Features

• Helps restore ignition charge voltage for strong, repeatable spark output.
• Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
• Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.
• Supports dependable starting by delivering the voltage needed by the ignition module.

Common Symptoms of Stator Failure

• High-rpm breakup
• Random cylinder drop-out
• Weak or intermittent spark
• Spark loss after warm-up
• Charging output problems where the stator also supports charging circuits

Clean grounds, sound connectors, and correct flywheel condition are important for reliable stator performance after replacement.
