hey daselbee: just got back on the boat today and here is what i got,first took out all plugs and tested for spark with tester an only had spark on port side so i took my dva and tested the charge coils and i had 138volts,also when testing forward plugs of stator with ohm meter i had780 and 785 ohms and testing for grounded condition was all good ,so i am beliving that the stator assembley is ok so i went on to trying to test power pack ,so i thout if i switch the to forward conectors of the statorto oppisit sides of power pack this would let me know if the coil pack was bad or the stator and still only had spark on port bank so i order the power pack, how does this look to you also how important is the primer solinoid because mine is burned out,also last we spoke the enginge was jumping a bit when i tryed to start and the starter would then free wheel .it was do to one of the carberators i rebuild is was pouring gas into the lower starbord cylinder and locking it ,so i took it apart again and redid it now its fine.
