I'm pretty good with cars but am currently learning about outboards. The engine is spinning but I am not getting spark. I pulled the stator that only has two wires and when I test with a multimeter the ohms start out close the what they should be but then drains down to zero. Am I testing this wrong or is it bad? Another thing, there is no mercury switch and I don't see a kill switch. Will it start without a mercury switch or does it need to be grounded? If someone can post how to test the stator, coil, and trigger accurately I would greatly appreciate it.
