This problem has been troubling me for about a week now.Have no spark on all 4 cylinders. Ran test with meter have power all the way to the rectifier, from the rectifier to the power strip, from the power strip to the stator.But have no power coming from stator to power pack ,and no power coming from the power pack to sensors or coils.My guess is that the stator is out .But im not to familure with stators.Does the stator create spark? ,By the informaton givin above can you guys give me your opinion on what you think is the problem. I just dont want to waste $350.00 on a part that i dont need. your help is greatly appreciated thanks guys!!!

You can test your stator with an ohm meter. Specs for it will be in your manual.

You need a manual, and go step by step, first read theory of operation as pointed out in the manual.
