Re: Merc Gurus...I need some help....Final update....
Kenny, first I don't know why I am even posting, it sounds to me like rodbolts hit it right on the head mercury built stators have a interior bond wire on the inside of the stator when it comes apart for what ever reason it comes and goes and will send a guy to the bar. You need to ck high speed output with a load on the engine, DVA or an Induction tach, some cases you can run the engine up slowly and when it starts to miss back it off, if it smooths out you try it a couple of more times to make sure it repeats it's self and if it does you can be sure it's the stator---Bob

2 CD-77 and the merc one as well as a DVM with a DVA attachent. it enables me to look at more than one thing at a time. but all tests have to be done under a load. a failing ign coil will not usually show up with a peak reading voltmeter unless its shorted to ground. the orange, yellow, and blue coils have been known to crack and arc to the center magnent. A Kv tester will catch that one. a Kv tester will also catch a fouled or open plug as well.
