i have a 1971 evinrude 60 hp without spark, i have checked the stator, and the points, but that is about the extent of my knowledge. i bought a new amplifer box to replace the old one but the wires had been replaced on the block and the stock connector is gone but the amplifier has it's plug. also the old amplifer says cb2001 and the new one is cb2007. so i don't know which wire connects to which blade on the amplifier connector. also the original rectifier burned so i swapped on of of a similar year 55 hp. please help me diagnose this. i want out on the water this year!

I am not familuar with this motor, but since on one else repied to you thought I would give it a shot
How have you checked the stator? Is it 110% still good?
Is there a power pack?
From my understanding the stator creates the spark and a power pack tells it which cylinder to send the spark to. so I am ***uming by your description that you have NO spark on any of the cylinders... is this correct?
If this is the case then I would start with the spark creating components. Have you pulled the fly wheel off to see the conditions of the magnets underneath? Not only the magnetos (the outside magnets), but the center magnet as well? This center magnet is basically the "really what is going on" when you change the timing of an outboard. In other words the timing marks on the top of the motor are for us dumb humans to be able to tell what the timing is on this inner magnet.
"By p***ing a magnet through a coil of wire you create an electrical charge"
On my 225hp evinrude, the big problem that I could not figure out, which I finally did, was that the center magnet under the fly wheel, not the outside "magnetos", which is the one that corresponds to the stator and tells it when to fire the spark, kind of like a hull-a fax- sensor, had broken free and would spin with the fly wheel only part of the time.
Check all that and get back to us, Horiably explained, but hopefully it helps
