Unit went dead in water. Both cly not firing. Bad low speed stator. Replaced. Unit now firing on one cly only. Does this mean my switchbox is bad.<br />Ign coils ohms at 963 and 965.

To try to keep you from spending alot of money on a new coil set, try troubleshooting it first, it could just be your switch box because hardly ever 2 coils go bad at once.<br /> Ok, try to stay with me.<br /> (1)Find out which coil is still working properly and disconnect that lead that is coming from the switch box.(2) Disconnect the lead that is connected to one of the suspected bad coils.(3) Connect the good lead to the suspected bad coil and attemt to start your motor. <br /> If you are getting a good spark on that suspected bad coil,you know your coils are good. 99 chance of 100 its gonna be your your switch box.<br /> I had that exact same problem here recently. My top plug was firing fine when bottom 2 wasnt. Meanwhile, I had a manual ordered when I had diagnosed that problem. Whenever it arrived, it showed me how to test the switch box, and sure enough, it was bad.<br /> Good luck and tell us how it goes.
