Also if I could add from a rookie. If you Have to replace your stater and your wiring looks good cut the wires close to your old stator and connect the new stator with Bullitt inline connectors (If they're same color code). Sure saved me lots of migraines & Drinks! Good Luck & Stay Safe!
Thanks for sharing how to replace the stator. However, your title says assessing stator rough running. I believe your title should be more about replacing the stator since I didn't really see much of anything about determining the actual problem with the rough running condition.
Ronnie that is a great question. I am glad you asked. When I did this video I wasn't much versed with you tube; however after your comment I added two videos that show up in the end that reflect the actual problem and engine running rough.
Thanks for posting the vid! I have a 1998 Force (mercury) 120 and it's running fine until I get around 3/4 throttle. A local marine tech said it could be the stator, trigger, or timing. I tried adjusting timing, while under load in a 50 gal tub, still same issue. I installed CCMS reeds also, since they originals were out of spec. Still same issue, so I am going to try the trigger. How's she holding up after you did these changes? Did you take any ohm readings on the old vs new unit?
Since the trigger was not much expensive I decided to change it anyhow and it worked. A mechanic week before that charged me $800 for stator, which I believe I didn't needed
Hi. I have a 1984 Mercury 60hp. After cleaning the carbs it rub great but it wasn’t charging the battery. I checked the stator and rectifier with a meter as instructed my the factory service manual. Both failed but the engine ran great. I bought a new stator and rectifier. The motor run like it did before I installed the new parts but it is still not charging the battery. I’ve check voltage output at the rectifier stud with no wire connected and it is not charging. Then out of no where the motor started running bad not wanting to idle smooth and dying when put into gear. It’s got me thinking is the new stator bad? I’m going to put the old stator back on to see if the motor run good again. Was your motor running bad and the stator fixed the issue? Thanks for reading my long post.
Stator was installed by a certified Mercury Mechanic but my issue was resolved when I installed the trigger my self. Here is the link for my video and in the description I have another link from someone else that helped me figure rough running motor issue. View the video and see if your issue is similiar. If possible inform how it went with old stator. Capt. long or short post whatever helps you works for me.
Hi, Great video! I am having problems with the charging system of the battery, while the outboard is running (60hp 2stroke 2016), there is no increment in the voltage of the battery.. It also is going rough while idle in neutro. But when put it in forward and open some gas vibration and shakes stop. do you think stator may be the problem of the no charging battery?. What else can i check? Thank u very much!
Did you checked with battery tester? if yes, then it may be the stator, you may find a reasonable price for stator on amazon. Change the trigger also its a cheap replacement.
Hello, thank you for this video. I have the same exact engine and am attempting to replace my trigger. I am having difficulties removing the flywheel. I purchased the attachment piece that you used from amazon, but am still having difficulties. Is there something i am missing ? I believe all of the components are attached correctly for flywheel remover but no success.
@@FKCamVlogs ok. Sweet. I was able to get it off.. you're correct. Required a little more umph than I anticipated. Was able to get it off and install the trigger. Thanks for the assistance !
At the end of my video there is a link to another video, the trigger is connected to a lever through a sleeve. Mercury 2 Stroke|Running Rough FIX |Stator|Trigger
I thought this was a great video! My Mercury 150 is acting the same way. Because of your video I feel confident I can do it. One question., how and where did you mark your flywheel?
Thanks buddy for feedback. I didn't mark mine but took a pic. I think you can use white marker and a ruler and mark across flywheel and shaft for reference. Hope this helps, if not let me know !!
There is a good video on you tube how to test your stator. My email is listed in about section on my channel if you have subscribed. If you email add "Stator issue" in subject line.
I think my stater is good but not trigger I Did plugs filters renewed the carbs? That side of it's all new But mechanics these days cannot work on anything under 2005.
Help?. 96 Mariner Magnum 200 EFI. Ran boat a few times fishing.. Would always take a few seconds or so to pick up speed and plane out. Helped if my brother sat up front and if I trim up and down bit as it's going. Anyway.. Would eventually go and run pretty smooth top end. Couple days later.. I take it out.. Starts and idles normal.. Plenty power.. But when I put in gear and start to go.. It won't pick up speed. About 6mph max.. Rpms low.. Like bogged down or lack of power?
@@FKCamVlogs it doesn't sputter. In gear tho it Just won't go past about 6 mph. Rpms low. In neutral it'll rev back up and rpms go up if I give throttle.
I will look into very basics, quality of fuel, how fresh is fuel, any water in it, check gap in spark plugs, check inline filter also when last fuel/water separator filter was replaced.
Good video except for reassembly with the impact, that nut is supposed to be on with 115 ft pounds of torque and you have NO clue how tight or not tight the nut is? Torque specs are there for a reason!
Sorry to hear that, just know I could have easily edited that part but I kept it, as we all learn from mistakes. The amazon tool works different on different engines some require bushing and some don't. Happy boating !!
What a waste of time, all you did was take everything apart and add loctite that you must have forgot the first time. And don't use cheap knockoff parts they don't last and will leave you stranded
I take your comment positive as it will help me to improve my show and tell skills. I did this video upon requeat from many ppl on how to access stator. It may seem waste of time for peoole with some skill set but many don't know how to pull flywheel assembly off the stator. I am with you on OEM parts but oem trigger was on back order and this brand was recommended by certified mercury mechanic as a replacement. Thank you and please comment when you see an issue or have suggestions on future videos. Everything helps !!

Hi I have an 80hp 3 cylinder merc do you have the stator part number for that motor
Check Crowleys Marine, they have all parts listed by year and make

Jeremy you need to pull lil hard since it has magnets. If still no success inform me.

@@JeremyMartinez-sb3fn You bet !
Ir a little tap with a rubber hammer
Does the trigger below the stator need to be attached to anything. It seems a bit loose with some wiggle room up and down
At the end of my video there is a link to another video, the trigger is connected to a lever through a sleeve. Mercury 2 Stroke|Running Rough FIX |Stator|Trigger
What stator did you buy
It was mercury product from Crowley's Marine. This is the part number 398-858404T4. Costs between $464 to $525.00
Think it could make your boat start to
Shake trying to go faster
Yes, its cheap enough to swap. How's voltage when your boat runs ?
Does the flywheel need to be installed in the same position on the crankshaft?
Cutum sub the channel if you haven't done so. Yes, it has to go to same position. I marked mine.
I thought this was a great video! My Mercury 150 is acting the same way. Because of your video I feel confident I can do it. One question., how and where did you mark your flywheel?

Make and take pictures it's an easy job it will save you 100's
hello,can anyone tell me hiw is the flywheel position on this engine ?
i really appreciate !!!!!
Before you open mark it, so no guesses.
Can only go one way. It has a master spline. That is one spline wider than the others.
@@garyradtke3252 thanks for the tip
I have the same engine I'm suspecting my Stator has failed. What is the easiest way to test it?
There is a good video on you tube how to test your stator. My email is listed in about section on my channel if you have subscribed. If you email add "Stator issue" in subject line.
hi" now you stay use this engine?
Yes I still use the same engine and it is running strong
What is the part number for this specific part?
JETUNIT TRIGGER FOR MERCURY OUTBOARD 134-6456-18 96455A18 96455T18 135 150 175 200 XR6 HP 2.5L & 240 HP
I think my stater is good but not trigger I Did plugs filters renewed the carbs? That side of it's all new But mechanics these days cannot work on anything under 2005.
If they cant work on anything 2005 and older then they are part changers not mechanics.
