Ranger520vx Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 He had a group 24 sealed marine starting battery. I had a extra group 24 marine cranking battery with the caps where you could check the acid and it runs the same way on both of them. Just got the new pack hopefully we will get it put on Sunday and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger520vx Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Finally got around to putting the new pack on if anything it runs worse won't stay running with rectifier unhooked now. Went through all the DVA tests again timer base checks good, stator output between the 2 brown wires 240 volts when you first start cranking then drop to 40 volts when hooked to the pack unhooked from the pack 240 volts until you stop cranking. Output on orange stator wires 14 volts and drops to 8 volts while cranking hooked to the pack unhooked it will hold 14 volts as long as it's cranking. Orange wires to the coils only around 100 volts cranking and fall off to around 20 volts. According to the CDI trouble shooting guide those figures point to a bad pack since the voltage is right when you unhook the pack. But can't believe would have gotten 2 bad packs think the stator is opening up and only shows up when it has a load on it. This is the first time that I have gotten the voltage to drop off like that.

fishinwrench Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Orange wires? On a 1990 60hp ? That's not a Quik-Start/SLOW system ! Gimme the model # I think you've got the wrong parts on that hussy. Your stator should have a brown and brown/yellow, and 2 bigger yellow and yellow/gray leads, and that's all. The Ppacks and stators with orange wires are for motors equipped with Quik-Start and SLOW.

Ranger520vx Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Model number is E60TLESM. The old Evinrude stator had a brown, brown and yellow, orange, orange and black and 2 yellow wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinwrench Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ok you're good. I guess the replacement now converts it to Quik-Start. I didn't know that. So no spark at all now? Zero (or very low) primary voltage from the Ppack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger520vx Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 If you're cranking it it will jump a half inch on a spark tester a few times then quit firing. The primary voltage while cranking will start at about 100-110 volts not the 150 it should be then drops to around 40 when it quits firing.

Ranger520vx Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yes it is freakin crazy I have performed DVA tests on several friends boats and most are straight forward to diagnose but this thing is driving me to drink 🤪. When you can get it to run for a few seconds the DVA on stator brown and brown/black wires is 240 or so then it will start missing and voltage will start falling until it dies. Voltage on the orange and orange/black wires will be 14 drop to about 8 then jumps to 14 or so at the moment it dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
