SLX780 Stator

[xlint89]

Usually the year is printed on the back side of the magneto. 75W94

75 meaning it was from a 750

W stands for watercraft

95 is the model year

However, the problem is it's written in an ink. And that ink does wear off if the magneto has been handled a bit.

In the service manual it appears the 1993 (analog) magneto had 5 male bullet connectors and 2 female. 1994/95 magnetos had 4 male bullet connectors, 2 female, and 2 eyelets for grounding.

Other than that, I do not know how to test for analog VS digital signal?

I do know the analog will work, if installed for a little while, but it will most likely fail. I had used my original 650 magneto (all 650 magnetos are analog) when I did a 780 conversion on my SL. It worked for quite a few outings, but it did eventually fail and needed to be exchanged.

Was it due to the incompatibility of digital and analog, or was it just done due to age? I can not say for sure. But, in the service manual, there is a note stating SL 650 CDI is not interchangeable with SL 750 digital ignition parts.

You can see the stamp on the back side I was referring to in this pic.

Thank you, your manual must be more detailed than what I have, my electrical drawings are just line with color coding. I have seen a few online, OEM have the cast numbers opposite the trigger that aftermarket don't appear to have. With the terminal info will make it easier. I get one and post back with how it goes.

- your manual must be more detailed ...

Have a look here

Tip: Use a laptop/PC, not smartphone

Keith, it appears that all of the "shorturl" links have died. I don't know why that is, but in the meantime, here is a direct link to the PWC Knowledge page.

I have been offered a 785 PRO stator, by a guy here in NZ! Test values are different, but are they compatible with the SLX780 system?

[xlint89]

I want to say yes, BUT..... I believe you would want the flywheel from the 785 PRO to go with it. I don't remember why though.

[Dodgeforce]

Maybe something to do with timing? I'll ask if has a flywheel to match.

I have been looking at different threads, it looks like SL70 stators and flywheels will work in a 785 pro ok, but haven't been able to find if someone has fit a pro stator to a 750/780. I am guessing it will work, but has anyone done this before? The guy has a flywheel as well, but wants $400 NZ for both, so would like to be as sure as possible...

[xlint89]

The best I can offer you is these pics. It's a 785 magneto next to a 750 magneto. And the flywheel is a 785 so you can compare it to yours. I don't think you can mix and match the 785 and 780. I'm going to say it's all 780 or all 785.

Does it cost more to buy the 785 magneto and flywheel VS. buying one from ebay?

I had only seen the one from Pelican Rapids, but they don't ship internationally. I don't use Ebay too much and so do struggle with trying a search, often only come up with new items, not used!
I have just tonight ordered 1 from the Jetski Parts Guy, from a 95 750. They will test before shipping, but it looks very clean and tidy. Hopefully they will ship tomorrow , still be a bit of a wait though.
I would agree regarding all 780 or 785. On the 780 stator, the 3 cream colored coils are for generating spark ( I think), I see on the 785 they are opposite each other, so the correct flywheel would need to be used.
Cost is very similar, I decided to go with what is known to work, I don't think I would be able to send the parts back if it didn't.

Thank you for all your help, hopefully the replacement stator with be here quickly I can can get going again!
