How do I test stator and trigger on my 1982 mercury 70 hp??? I have a pretty good meter, just don't know what to test, also are the tests done while cranking engine or just off with battery connected???
Thanks

Great link! I bookmarked it for future reference. I'm trying to figure out which ignition system I have on my 1987 70hp. Is it the Battery CD system or the Alternator Driven system.

Does the 1971 merc model 1150 have the Battery/CD/distributor system or which system would I use to check my trigger. I have used the jumer of the brown and white and ground the black and no spark. But I suspect there are some other problems, and would like to try to find out which is bad. :eek:
