Just looking for Trigger/Stator ohms specs for my merc

I have a OT628246 merc 90hp 3 cyl.

I have an older manual and was wondering if the readings of the triggers and the stator are still the same. The older manual reads 1100-1400 for the trigger resistances. The stator test says Blue and Red 3600-4200 (90-140) I'm not sure why there are numbers in parenthesis. Red lead and engine ground 90-140.

I'm doing these tests because I only have spark on one of the three cylinders. So thanks in advance if someone can tell me these numbers are still good to go by.

Nevermind, just went to the engine. Nothing is the same. I'll have to find a manual.

ok I got good voltage coming out from all of the triggers. My Stator voltage was very low so I'm going to go with that.

Follow Fazt advise.

NEVER ASSUME anything as there is NO RETURN on electrical parts, you very well could buy a stator and NOT solve your problem.

Test twice, PROVE the fault, THEN order parts.

You guys were right, it ended up being the coil. I wish I had that link before I did some of the work, it made it real easy. Thanks a lot I printed and saved it for next time.
