New stator is in, still no spark. I finally figured out where exactly to disconnect the kill switch - I previously had it confused as being part of the trigger wiring. Disconnecting that also did not help. The ignition coils were replaced when I started on this a few years ago and have never...
Actual multimeter readings:
Stator Low Side (Blk/Yel to Engine Ground): 1 Ohm
Stator High Side (Blk/Whi to Engine Ground): 136 Ohms
Trigger (Brn/Yel to Brn/Whi): 755 Ohms
Both sides of the stator seem to be completely out of spec. I also noticed upon closer inspection that the stator wire was...
Turns out the flywheel puller just needed a few firm taps with a bigger hammer (4 lbs blacksmith hammer) to pop the flywheel off. No heat needed! Guess I'll need to find another project to use my new heat gun on...
Physically everything looks intact but a little dirty under the flywheel. Still...
Update - several years in the future. After a long hiatus due to a bunch of life changes, I was finally able to build an outboard stand and get the motor off the boat and into my garage. I'm still fighting the no spark issue as well as a flywheel which does not wish to be removed. Puller is on...
Now that I've figured out how to post pics, I thought I'd go ahead and start a build thread for this project.

So I think I should first admit that I know nothing about outboards... This is my first boat, and no one...
So I think I should first admit that I know nothing about outboards... This is my first boat, and no one in my family really has any experience with boat motors. I have a 1988 Mercury 25 (S/N 0B323044) attached to a 1988 Lowe 16' Tunnel Jon. The boat and motor both belonged to my...
