Re: 1996 Mariner 40HP Magnum
No spark in either cylinder is pointing towards the stator. Usually if the switchbox goes 1 of 2 cylinders would sometimes fire and 2 of 4 cylinders the same. If all cylinders are dead. I would first check all wires coming from the stator. They have online manuals on the FAQ sticky notes of this section that will give you the testing procedures for electrical system. Also I would try disconnecting the harness from the engine to the key switch and then test for spark as it may be just the ignition switch
