Stator and four coils with plug wires on order. Trigger tested out fine based on the Mercury manual. The plugs were definitely getting fuel, plenty wet when I pulled for compression test. I am just glad I am finding things wrong that I can fix and not just hitting a dead end.....although it would be nice if there were things to find wrong ;)

Your compression seems a little low but thats not that terrable as long as each cylinder is within 10% .
sounds like to me your on the right track with the stator.Change that out and you'll have a nice set up.that;ll bre hard to beat |

Well now I can get a charge coming off the engine (wasn't putting any amperage/voltage back to the battery before) but didn't fix my WOT problem. Seems like the motor just dies out when I give it more that 3/4 throttle. Fast idles great, idles warm ok but when under power it dies out as the throttle is applied. Any other ideas? Could this be a timing issue? Trigger checks out, coils/stator/plugs/rectifier all replaced. Carbs cleaned, fuel pumps redone. What am I missing?

Also does anyone know if I can test/eliminate the switchbox or is it just a last resort replacement thing?

Another dead end...just tried to do the timing and found #1 to be firing 180 off from where it should be. #2 was firing when 1 should be and was in spec for the timing degrees. Double checked every wire on there, stator, trigger, switchbox, coils, etc. Even pulled the flywheel to make sure it wasn't put back on wrong and everything checks out okay. WTF?!?!?!?!
