t9.9 no spark, bad stator

[sydneydevin]

i have a yamaha 9.9 1996 high thrust long shaft kicker.(t9.9ELUH) i was out fishing and ran it out of gas right at the boat launch. it has always ran great. when i got home to flush it, it would not start. it has no spark.
i checked the kill swith lanyard-seems to be ok. i pulled the flywheel of and the stator has one set of windings burned.
i guess i need a stator. what im wondering is about the cdi. i asked a local shop and they told me, if i could borrow a stator to try from a friend a bad cdi will not harm the borrowed stator.(i belive diferently) i also dont want to buy a stator to be burned up again. they also told me that the cdi cannot be tested. i have since seen steps to test it but id need a DVA adaptor.(of wich i dont own).
anyone care to spill me some more info would be greatly appreciated. also of a good place for electronics to purchase.
any links to testing procedures would help too.
ps: was the running out of gas just pure coincidence?
also does the motor always need to be hooked up to a battery or could i use it with the pull start-could this hurt electronics?
thanks for any responses.

Re: t9.9 no spark, bad stator

someone told me that having a kicker hooked up to a battery when its not running, but while the main motor is running, could back feed to much voltage to the kickers stator. if the main alternator was bad and over charged back.
make any sense.

Re: t9.9 no spark, bad stator

you need to test things not just look at them and say they are not producing voltage for spark
Lighting coil is for battery charging and the charge coil produces voltage for spark and pulser coil tell it when to spark plug
