Test for bad stator

[ram]

I have a 1967 Evinrude that hasn't run for 7 years. A couple years ago a dealer told me it had a bad stator. Now I am considering fixing it myself, but the part costs $200+ so I need to be sure that is the problem.

Also, get a can of WD40 and water muffs for the water intake. Spray the WD40 directly into the carbs while attempting to start.<br />If it coughs sputters or starts, it's not the stator. Just make sure the bowls are drained on the carbs first,as they got goo in them instead of gas.<br />You'll have to do this anyway,as it has been sitting so long.
