I have a 1997 200xl mercury outboard - one side is not firing- what could cause this?

Re: mecury motor

You either have a bad switch box or one side of the stator is out. A simple test is to remove the 4 power wires from the stator on the boxes and swap them, red to the red/wihlte and blue to the blue/white. If the problem switches sides it's the stator and if it stays the same it's the box.
