i need help. i replaced the rectifier on this motor, i lost a screw and stupid is what what stupid does. i found a different screw put it. i got to the lake hooked the battery up and heard a sizzle noise. again me being me i turned the key any way. poof goes the rectifier i assume and nice burnt smell. when i pulled the cover off, to see where the problem was. my saved screw was too long and arched out causing me this headache. i have changed the solenoid and rectifier and have no power to turn starter. if i jump the starter, it will turn but no spark to start. i have now pulled both coil packs and will replace them too. my question is am i going in the right direction to fix this problem. i am not a mechanic as my screw proved but i am not scared to get my hands dirty. should i look at the key start. all wires are intact and not burnt that i can see.the inline fuse which was put in by previous owner as directed by many was not fried either. i am at a lost and just want to get out fishing. thanks in advance for all and any help.
