I have a 1994 force with the merc 4 coil single switch box ignition and experienced a no-start situation after running the engine for 1/2 hr at high speeds then some short low speed re-sets while on a fishing trip. I have determined a week or no spark outcome and have narrowed it down to (stator,Trigger,switchbox) i am leaning
towards the switch box and stator as i have a very low reading on the low speed side of the stator. I have ordered every component for the sys as i am un-certian what or if any of the components have been serviced and two reduce the chance of a failure i felt it prudent to not mix weak parts with new parts. i have done a fair amount o the motor since i bought it aside from heavy mechanical as it runs very well on plain and always started first turn and at times without use of any choke after sitting for a few months. the only part i could not get readily was the trigger assy as they are becoming hard to get up here, i am told they dont fail as often as a stator. would it be best to attempt running it with the new stator or temp providence and run the old one? its very hard to get good troubleshooting advice here and i have only been able to use manuals online and browsing the posts i see on this site. (very helpful folks i might add!)
