1985 50 hp Force NEED HELP!

[nquizitive]

Recently got an 85 50 hp Force engine, it has no spark on either cylinder.
1. Does this model have a kill switch, what color are the wires?
2. The engine has coils does that mean it also has points? While turning the flywheel can I see the points open and close on an ohm meter measuring from white to ground or brown to ground?
3. When testing the rectifier what ohm meter reading should I get measuring back to front across the terminals, with the wires disconnected?
What other tests can I run? Is there a test for the ignition switch? Is there a good troubleshooting site. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Though I got no replies on this posting maybe what I found to cure the problem myself will help someone else.
My 85 50hp Force does not have a kill switch most of the wiring was the same as found in some of the other postings on this forum though a few were different color. This engine does in fact have points must of been made just before CDI. I pulled the flywheel I found that both sets of points were totally gunked up, cleaned them up and the engine fired right up. Slight miss at the first but that smoothed out quickly and all seems well.
