I have a1989 85hp 2 stroke 3 cyl. force outboard that is not getting any fire on all three cylinders. Im not sure if it is the emergency cutoff switch or what else it could be. Anyone got a clue why it is not getting a spark at all?

#1Check the killswitch. Is the magnet under the flywheel loose?
The keyway might have let loose.The key switch might be bad.
I'd check #1 first.J

Check for as kill switch. If there is none or if the clip is properly inserted, remove the blue wire from the engine terminal board near the starter. This is the kill wire. If the engine now has spark, then the problem is either in the ignition switch or kill switch.
