I have a 1974 Mercury 850-85HP motor Thunderbolt Ignition, It has a 2 wire Stator on it, and I was wondering if another stator would interchange with it? I have access to either a "red" stator for a 1987 75HP mercury, that is supposed to fit mercury, mariner, and force motors. also a stator from a 1992 50HP Force motor, and there are 2 others I could get that came off of 1983 Mercury Inline 6 Outboards, they all look very similar to mine but I can't tell exactly, they have more wires than my 2 yellow wire stator had, but I am assuming these extra wires are for triggering and can remain unused if I installed it on my motor assuming they would fit....are any of these stators interchangeable (universal) across the merc/mariner/force line, or are they all motor specific? I am looking to save money, and don't want to spend $200 for a new one when I could have a barely used one for about 15% of that. anyway thanks in advance for any help or advance.<br /><br />P.S. my motor has a distributor and breakerless ignition if that helps at all but my stator only has 2 wires......anyway, I'm rambling, I just wanted to be very specific....thanks.
