Force 85hp- new cdi stator.trigger - help with wiring

Hi all - 85hp 3 cyl force, replaced stator and trigger.. cyl 1 had intermittent spark that eventually disappeared. Prev installation had wired the two blue stator wires together into one connector like this:



Why would they do this? What does the blue wire do? supply power to the packs?

Anyway - the cdi unit came with the two wires separate on each plug - what should I do?


thanks

I found the cdi installation pdf online - much better info. Fyi the one switch pack had one free coil wire.. is is possible to use this channel if one of the others goes bad? I guess one would have to change the plugs - on my old 85 mercury you could move the wires across the brass terminals easily to troubleshoot parts.

Update - just managed to get an idea on the wires. All wires check out ohms wise - im suspecting the power pack now. Didnt realize one could swap everything around on these.

Also - cdi mentions the blue wires need to be joined together as well as the yellow ones - odd. Ill call em monday and get some more info.
