my 1996 johnson v6 outboard motor won't start. on the 2nd pic theirs that piece that is broken and idk what its for, on the 3rd pic is what i think is the kill switch wire which is black/yellow and it leads to the 4th pic which is right under the arms for the 6 pack carbs, i tried disconnecting it but still no change, i pull the brown/blue off one of the coils and check for 12v with the key on and i get 3.0 volts i tried checking if any of the coils would create spark when cranking the motor but nothing, i'v clean only the ground under the cdi box cap. i also tried checking the stator but i don't know which wires to check to see if its good, their 8 wires that go from the stator to the cdi box 4 of them are brown/white and the other 4 are orange i think.
the motor will crank but no spark, its not a fast cranking because the battery doesn't hold a much of a charge so i have the battery charger on start when i crank it over. btw which way is the starter suppose to turn the flywheel, idk if its possible that the starter can crank it back words cus i had to pull the starter apart because the gear wouldn't engage and don't know if i might have mess something up.
