Hello,
I bought a boat (1983 4 winns) on it was a 1979 mercury 115 6 cylinder.
The previous owner had some issues apparently and seems to have not had a degree in electrical repair.... to say the least
anyways we have replaced the yellow/red stator wires and now are getting electricity down to the switch's when turning the motor over no electricity coming out of the other side of the switch (headed towards the coils) thus no spark at the spark plugs....
Please take a look at the linked pictures and you will see where the wiring has been butchered by the previous owner, some rewired by us.
Also according to the wiring diagram form maxrules.com it appears that I am missing an "idle stabilizer" box that is nowhere to be found assuming the diagram is correct of course.....
Any help is much appreciated
