trying to figure out a firing problem on a 115 inline 6 mercury..motor was laid up for a while before it was given to me by a friend..tried to start it but it doesnt want to pop off...im getting fire on 1, 3, and 5 cylinders but nothing on 2, 4, and 6. top switch box is for odd number cylinders and bottom switch box is for even numbers...i tried swapping wires from stators on switch boxes...taking wires from top which was firing and put them on bottom switch box and the ones from bottom i put to top box, just to see if i get fire from bottom box..but when i did that i got no fire at all..so im not sure if its a problem with the bottom switch box or stator, someone told me it could be part of that stator that went out causing the problem but im not sure. i really havent messed with outboard motors much i know a little but not much just wanted to ask for some different opinions before i start buying parts lol...if anyone can help that would be great
