I have Johnson 1997 twin 60 hp two stroke motors (J60TLEUA). I used the JR method for timing. Starboard engine went good and timing was in range. Port engine was out by 6 degrees. Pulled flywheel to check Woodruff key and flywheel magnets, looked ok. Adjusted the timing screw and then tried to check my adjustment with timing light, but there was no spark on #1, so i changed coil pack got one brief timing flash and then no spark.
Went through the DVA tests per manual for port engine and it indicates that the port stator and timing base is bad ( only 8 V on charge coil of stator instead of 250v +).
For reference I checked the starboard engine and that indicated that the stator was also bad but the timing base was OK.
What could I have done that fried the stator on both motors?
Wired timer base all the way forward, pulled plugs grounded #2 & #3, used spark tester on #1 with timing light. Cranked the engine (also used muffs to protect impeller).
Any help is appreciated as it appears I have done at least $600 dollars in damage to my engines and will still need to set the timing after the repair.
