Hi Jerry, welcome to iboats.

It would be good if you would tell us the model number, or at least the year of the motor, as there were many changes on these motors within a model year.
The 90-91-92 model years had different ignition parts.

You problem could be within the stator, trigger, switchbox, cd module, or coils.

If you don't have a model number and serial number, lets start with these questions:

Color of coils?
If the 3 coils are blue, are there 2 blue cd modules also?

If the coils are black, there should be a switchbox, about 2.5 x 4 inches; does it have terminal studs on it for connecting the wires, or do the wires have bullet connectors on them?

Shape of fuel pump- square or round/oval ?

While you are looking at it, check all wires for broken insulation and loose connections.

Start shopping for a CLYMER Force repair manual.
