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.

Stator Design

  • Vibration-resistant construction helps reduce the chance of intermittent output caused by loose or damaged windings.
  • High-temperature insulation helps protect the windings from heat cycling inside the engine cowling.
  • Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
  • Marine-grade lead wires and molded connectors help maintain dependable contact in a high-vibration environment.

Ignition System Benefits

  • Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.
  • Helps correct intermittent spark loss caused by heat-sensitive stator windings.
  • Designed to maintain stable voltage as engine load and RPM change.
  • Supports dependable starting by delivering the voltage needed by the ignition module.

Failure Symptoms to Check

  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • High-rpm breakup
  • Poor acceleration caused by weak ignition energy
  • Engine misfire under load
  • Charging output problems where the stator also supports charging circuits

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