Product Details

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 Johnson/Evinrude applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Construction Details

  • Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
  • Epoxy encapsulation helps shield internal windings from moisture, vibration, and corrosion.
  • High-temperature insulation helps protect the windings from heat cycling inside the engine cowling.
  • Laminated core sections help concentrate magnetic flux from the flywheel magnets for reliable electrical production.

Performance Features

  • Helps restore ignition charge voltage for strong, repeatable spark output.
  • Provides a dependable electrical source for the ignition system under real-world boating conditions.
  • Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
  • Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.

Failure Symptoms to Check

  • Random cylinder drop-out
  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • Poor acceleration caused by weak ignition energy
  • No-start conditions
  • 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.
