1995 70hp force has no spark

[PaulP]

HI, I HAVE 1995 FORCE 70 HP THAT WONT START,NO SPARK AT ALL 3 PLUGS WHICH ARE NEW.<br />STARTED AND RAN FINE FOR THE FIRST TRIP OF THE SEASON,STOPED FOR LUNCH AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART.I SUSPECT LANYARD SWITCH ON SHIFT?<br />I HAVE CONTINEUTY THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN IT IS IN THE OFF POSTITION AND NONE IN THE RUN POSTITION. COULD THIS BE A NORMALY OPEN SWITCH IN THE RUN POST. AND GROUND OUT WHEN IT CLOSES,IF SO THE MOTOR SHOULD RUN WITH THE WIRES JUST PULLED OFF THE SWITCH? NOW I DONT THINK IT IS THE LANYARD SWITCH BUT I DONT KNOW WERE TO GO FROM HERE,I HAVE TOOLS,AND A STANDARD VOLT/OHM METER, ANY IDEAS. THANKS PAUL

You could test the Stator Coil blue wires for elec output at their quick disconnects.<br /><br />------------------

Connect one blue to a ground on motor.<br />Vx10AC volt scale. Black meter lead to gnd on motor. Red lead to second blue wire.<br />Crank for few seconds. Needle should move.<br />Never black meter lead to a blue stator wire.<br />Switch everything to test the other blue stator wire.<br /><br />------------------
