Stator: This is the device that acts as an alternator. It delivers a charge to your battery to keep up. Most older bikes have to have the engine removed to change this.
Dyna-Float was a technology of the time to help give a vibration free ride. the lower bushings keep your motor from creating that vibration feeling on older boats.
Carbon buildup can keep a motor from firing and cause an engine to stall.
Firing as in starting and running, no.
You either have a bad stator or regulator/rectafier
There can be several things that will keep it from firing. Let's assume that it's turning over and there is not fire to the plugs. I would suspect the module. I had problems with them on an Evinrude. They seem to go out quite a bit. There is a test you can perform using a multimeter that will determine if it's bad. I can't remember the values it's supposed to be. Try checking on line. I believe I found it in the past on a website from a manufacturer. Try this site. http://www.maxrules.com/ He seems to have the knowledge and is willing to share it.
You should keep a mercury thermometer under your tongue for 3-4 minutes to ensure an accurate reading.
The motor has an intake that sucks water in to keep the engine cool and then shoots it out. Much like a car but a car has a closed system. Some boats have closed systems also especially if they are used in salt watwer as salt water is corrosive. Hope this helps...
keep the same winding configuration or number of poles increase the diameter of the rotor and stator
Yes, a bad ignition condenser will keep a motorcycle from firing. A bad ignition condenser might also have caused the points to stick together and burn up.
why want it work
You must keep them free from mercury because mercury is toxic! Mercury is poisonous and should not be handled without appropriate oversight by professionals and adequate protective procedures. Your question doesn't clarify whether the mercury many be from the containers themselves or the contents, but it doesn't matter because mercury from a container can contaminate the contents.
