Trigger wires are the same color in pairs, the only difference being the yellow sleeve, so nothing but the sleeve to match up with.

1986 Merc 90hp 6 cylinder adi ignition, carb model. Ran like a champ last weekend now no spark on 4 cylinders (only 1 and 5 good, haven't tested coils yet).
When troubleshooting the system, I have a rectifier with shorted diodes, and a stator with a slightly high reading on the red/white to...

-Run your hose so you don't screw up the water pump impeller, and remove your plugs.
-Then install the dial indicator tool in the #1 plug hole and turn the...
