bad running mercury 50

I traced it down last night the only difference is there was no brown wire on other side it was gray but all the others matched. I talked to the brother in law and he claims he didn't unhook any of those wires. So it appears to me they are correct other than you have brown to gray at the connection and there are no other wires that I see anywhere else.

Did he disconnect the plugs from the CDM modules ( Coils ) and not connect them back to the proper coil or put the plug wire on the wrong cylinder ?

But it sounds to me since you can make it stall by moving the trigger wires that you may have cracked / split wires and they are grounding out causing the engine stall . this is common with age and heat on those wires, I would look very close for cracks in the wires out of the trigger.

They all are connected to the right ones from what I see. He had the wrong plugs in it so I changed then to the standard ones thinking that would have helped but it didn't change anything

Would the trigger going bad or being bad cause it to run like this?

Ok I found this late yesterday evening. Im going to get back on it when I get off this evening.I think I'm getting closer to the issue

Thanks for all the advice I can't figure it out. He's going to have to take it to the shop or sell it like it is. Thanks for the help.
