1991 Mercury 75 HP outboard

[chapparrel]

No spark. Stator ,( 174-8778 or 832075A5 ) does not pass ohms test blue to black no reading. Replacement has 6 wires and original has only 5 (Y Y R Bl B )
How do I install the new one?
Thanks
Mike

I know this is a late reply but........I have service manuals but start with 1994. Black is ground and blue goes to the switchbox on this year model. Problem may be in your switch box. Get a service manual for your year model and solve your question dilemma.

Thanks changed switch box.New stator does not have a black .I'm assuming the blue/white and red/white go to ground.

I vaguely recall reading about blue and red with white stripe on a post here some time ago and they didn't go to ground. Get a manual.
