Can somebody help me out and tell me step by step on how to test a stator and trigger. I have a 98 120hp force with the red stator. Also could someone tell me the spec readings of a good stator and trigger. I ran my boat with a bad rectifier and im pretty sure it may have taken out the stator. The motor was running great until it died out on the lake and had to get towed back to the loading dock. After i got the boat home about a hour later from the time it died it fired back up but only ran for a few mins then died again and had to wait awhile before it started up again. Well one day i went out and fired the motor up and it ran for about 5 mins and died and that was the end of that. It will not fire up at all. No spit no sputter no cough no nothing. All it does is turn over. I realize there is no spark due to the bad rectifier and the bad rectifier took out the stater. I replaced rectifier and still nothing. The wires that come from the trigger that connect to switchbox were bubbly and sort of melted. Could that be because of the overload and having a bad rectifier. I done did little test such as i disconnected the black wire with the yellow strip from the switchbox still nothing. I disconnected the kill switch wire and ground from key switch still nothing. I bought a digital multimeter from walmart to test stator and trigger. It would be helpful if someone could tell me step by step on how to test them and to know what the normal spec readings are on them. Also is there any way to test stator adaptor. I do know if the stator adaptor is faulty that will cause no spark. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks
