Product Details

This stator assembly is built to help the ignition system maintain clean spark delivery by supplying consistent electrical output as the flywheel rotates. The design priorities are especially important on Johnson/Evinrude applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Materials & Build Quality

  • The coil assembly is built to resist breakdown from heat, oil mist, humidity, and repeated thermal expansion.
  • Vibration-resistant construction helps reduce the chance of intermittent output caused by loose or damaged windings.
  • Precision-wound copper coils are used to promote efficient voltage generation and stable output.
  • The stator body is designed to maintain proper coil alignment under continuous flywheel rotation.

Performance Features

  • Provides a dependable electrical source for the ignition system under real-world boating conditions.
  • Engineered to meet OEM-style electrical output characteristics.
  • Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
  • Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.

Problems a Weak Stator Can Cause

  • Engine misfire under load
  • Unstable ignition output
  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • High-rpm breakup
  • No-start conditions

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