I am extremely new to outboards so please bear with me.<br />I have a 1989 OMC Seadrive V4 1.6litre model 16amrdgh and Serial number 08555589. I found this on a sticker on the base of the engine inside the cowling. This engine has sat up for over 2 years and has not ran. I have removed all gas from tank, rebuilt carbs, and verified compression in the cylinders, all ~115 lbs. My problem is no spark, I have verified the neutral safety switch and replaced the ignition switch. I am suspecting it is the stator because none of the cylinders fire. My question is someone was trying to explain to me if I remove the bannana clip and a Large red connection at the engine this will completely elimate all "boat" wiring issues. I have a remote starter but he stated the yellow wired should be connected to a +12 volts. Does anyone agree or disagree with this? Does anyone have any other ideas?
