I bought a 89' 85hp Force outboard and am having issues with it losing spark on the middle cylinder at about 1/4 throttle, replaced the coils and spark plugs, figure its the stator. Any other input? Where can I find one? I have access to he tool to remove flywheel just need the stator.

I have the same motor and I don't have a spark on none of the cylinders. I can't figure it out I think it is the stator too. But I don't know.

Look on mercruiserparts.com for the part numbers.
Look on I-Boats to see if they sell them.
Look on E-BAY for a used one.
If you search for stator and part number on your search bar on your browser
you will get several hits on places that sell them.

You have a stator and a trigger. Doubt that both are bad at the same time.

There are lot of answers in posts about your same problem.
Shearch for lost spark, or testing for spark, and you should get some
good answers.

Good Luck,

Mike
