    Hey Newbies

    85 hp force outboard no spark

    My first thoughts of the problem was the cdi boxes. Those are hermetrically sealed and very seldom go bad. Now on the other hand those stators are more prone to shorting because of the voltages they produce and being in close proximity to the engine and the heat generated by the engine. So...

    How to Test trigger and stator on Force -125 hp outboard

    Cool thanks for the info I will use it most definitely use it, after I build it! I knew my stator was good when I grabbed the key switch while turning it over and got pretty good shock from it, I think I was touching the tach wire!
