Orange Orange Black 50 60 11 22 V 45 120 V This reading can be used to determine if a stator or pack has a problem For instance if you have no spark on any cylinder and the stator s DVA reading is out of spec disconnect the stator wires and recheck the DVA output If the reading is still out of spec the stator is bad If the reading is now within spec the pack is bad NOTE Low readings on all checks indicate a possible problem with the flywheel magnets that require checking SERVICE NOTE It is recommended that liquid neoprene be applied to the areas where piercing probes were used 14 Check the DVA output from the power pack to the primary coil wires as follows WIRE READ TO DVA Connected Orange Blue Engine Ground 150 V Orange Green Engine Ground 150 V NOTE If the DVA values are below these specifications the power pack or sensor is likely bad 15 Check the sensor DC voltage as follows WIRE READ TO DC voltage Connected Orange Red Engine Ground 10 5 12 VDC Black Orange Engine Ground 8 10 VDC WARNING The Black Orange wire should NEVER be shorted to engine ground as this will damage the sensor 16 Check the center hub triggering magnet in the flywheel A loose magnet can cause this problem 17 Check the triggering and charge coil flywheel magnets for cracked broken and loose magnets ONLY HAS SPARK AS LONG AS THE KEY SWITCH IS ENGAGED OR WILL NOT REV ABOVE IDLE SPEED Check the DVA voltage o2. Gil Electronics Johnson Evinrude 60 4 Cylinder Optical Ignition OIS 2000 Carbureted 1995 2006 Model Years Due to the differences in this ignition system troubleshooting can be somewhat difficult if you are not familiar with the design The other Johnson Evinrude Quick Start ignitions use stator charge coils and a power coil to provide high voltage and power for the Quick Start and rev limiter circuits They require a sensor for triggering and use separate magnets for the high voltage and triggering the sensor The OIS 2000 Optical system uses the stator charge coil to provide high voltage for the firing of the ignition coils and a power coil to provide power for the electronics both inside the power pack and inside the sensor The other Quick Start models will run the engine without the power coil being connected of course this will burn out the control circuits inside the power pack The OIS 2000 ignition has to have the power coil supplying power in order to operate the Quick Start S L O W rev limiter and spark the coils beyond cranking speed The optical sensor located on the top is fed power from the power pack and sends crankshaft position cylinder location and direction of rotation back to the power pack The pack is smart enough to know not to spark if the engine is not turning in the right direction S L O W functions reduce the engine RPM to approximately 2500 when the engine over heats or the no oil warning is activated Quic
