ignition problem on '73-135hp Evinrude

[dulind]

i recently purchased this motor and it has no spark on #2 or #4 cylinders, trying to do the swap and switch trouble shooting procedure i switched the #1 and #2 sensor wires on the powerpack and began getting fire on #2, does this indicate that i have two bad sensors or is there something else that could cause this problem, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Dulind....if the same thing happens if you switch #3 and #4, I would think the timer base is at fault.

just out of curiosity is there an adjustment for the sensors on the timer base that perhaps someone moved when changing a stator as it seems to be a new stator on it?

Nope....no adjustments. Just little coils of wire that induce a voltage to the power pack when the magnet spins by them.
