I am getting no spark on all 4 cylinders i have checked and disabled the kill switch and been out since so that should not be the issue. I also had to replace the starter and solenoid cause i burnt them up i think trying to get to fire. i did the ohm test on rectifier and showed it was bad so replaced still no spark. i have pulled fly wheel and checked magnets seem to be in good shape the trigger ohms out fine. on the stator i get 1.0 ohms on the leads coming from the rectifier. and 25.0 on the blue and yellow leads with ignition on when the motor is cranking i get open line my manual says it should be between 500-900 but dose not say weather it should be cranking or not i think the stator is bad but would like a second onion before i spend any more money on it but im also running out of time i leave for vacation in 5 days and need the boat. so i will be overnighting parts i had a mechanic that was supposed to fox it but sat there for a month with out being touched so now im in rush to try and get it fixed please help

Not cranking when doing the stator tests.
Here's your second onion :) If the readings not right then it probably needs to be replaced??
The magnets? more than 1? is it loose?
​Any wear spots or grounded wires?

No i did not see the magnent loose i will check again when i pull the fly wheel later to day to have it ready when my new stator arrives. all the grounding wires look to be in good shape and tight. i also have a new ignition switch im going to install today and pray that between that and the stator i fix the problem. The stator will not arrive till Wednesday and im supposed to leave for lake Cumberland Wednesday so all the advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry about the double post im new to this and did not realize that replying to this would refresh it on the fourms page.
