Product Details

This marine stator assembly is engineered to generate the electrical energy needed for dependable CDI ignition performance across changing engine speeds. The design priorities are especially important on Johnson/Evinrude applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Stator Design

  • Precision-wound copper coils are used to promote efficient voltage generation and stable output.
  • Sealed construction helps reduce moisture intrusion that can lead to weak spark or no-spark conditions.
  • Vibration-resistant construction helps reduce the chance of intermittent output caused by loose or damaged windings.
  • The coil assembly is built to resist breakdown from heat, oil mist, humidity, and repeated thermal expansion.

Ignition System Benefits

  • Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.
  • Designed to maintain stable voltage as engine load and RPM change.
  • Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
  • Provides a dependable electrical source for the ignition system under real-world boating conditions.

Failure Symptoms to Check

  • Unstable ignition output
  • No-start conditions
  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • Engine misfire under load
  • Poor acceleration caused by weak ignition energy

Because stator failure can mimic other ignition problems, testing the trigger, coils, switch box or power pack, and related grounds is recommended.
