Hello, I recently purchased a boat with the Mercury 90 HP 3cyl. I couldnt get it to run on all 3 cyls so I figured plugs and wires needed replcement since they were corroded. I ended up replacing plugs, wires, coils and the switchbox all to no avail she still runs on 2 cyls. Im blaming this on a weak spark at this point. Very hard to start and idles rough. Carbs have been rebuilt. Im tired of spending money. I pulled off the flwheel to check for chafed wires underneath and found a broken magnet in the flywheel. Not sure if I did it or it was like that before. SO first problem is should I blame this on bad charging system/stator or the magnets and seconf problem is I cnat buy just the magnets and not a chance im payin 400+ for a flywheel when I only paid 500 for the boat. Anyone know where I can score a used Flywheel asap. I refuse to pay someone 75 bucks an hour to fix this if I can figure it out myself and it appears to me that with the knowledge floating around on this site I will be all set. Thanx Guys Brad
