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

  • Epoxy encapsulation helps shield internal windings from moisture, vibration, and corrosion.
  • Marine-grade lead wires and molded connectors help maintain dependable contact in a high-vibration environment.
  • Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
  • Laminated core sections help concentrate magnetic flux from the flywheel magnets for reliable electrical production.

Key Functional Details

  • Helps the ignition system recover from weak output, hard starting, and cylinder drop-out symptoms.
  • Designed to maintain stable voltage as engine load and RPM change.
  • Helps restore ignition charge voltage for strong, repeatable spark output.
  • Supports smooth acceleration by helping the ignition system maintain consistent energy.

Common Symptoms of Stator Failure

  • Weak or intermittent spark
  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • No-start conditions
  • Random cylinder drop-out
  • Unstable ignition output

Always compare resistance and peak-voltage readings to the correct service specifications when diagnosing a suspected stator failure.
