Went to take the boat out this past weekend and had no fire so I started troubleshooting using this guide. http://www.outboardignition.com/page30.asp "Four Cylinder Engines" at bottom of page.
I do not have spark on any cylinder until I remove the yellow wires from the rectifier. I then gain spark on the #1, #2 and #3 cylinders.
I plan on replacing the rectifier. My question is regarding the #4 cylinder with no spark. Could this be an issue related to the rectifier or another problem all together? With a faulty rectifier unhooked should I gain spark on all cylinders?
Thanks,

what i've always found was if you turn the motor over and work the timing advance for firing at the flywheel you will regain fire the stator's will need working to wake them up i would only fix the rectifier first it may come to life once you fix that, crank it the # 4 may come back to life with extra RPMs on the flywheel the starter can't spin it that fast. a new powerpack may not fix it may just hurt the pocket.
