Re: force 150 charging system

If your engine has sufficient spark and runs, the magnets and stator are good.

Likely the rectifier/regulator is fried.

If you check the voltage across the battery terminals while it is running, you should get 14v or more.

If not, change rectifier.

Make sure you get the flywheel torqued to spec or you will snap the key and have all kinds of troubles.

Re: force 150 charging system

Its probably not your fuel line that is causing the bulb problem. The check valves in the fuel pumps don't like alcohol in the gas. It causes them to stick and the engine starts starving for fuel. One indication is the bulb going soft and another is the engine shutting down at higher speeds. Usually, the engine will restart immediately in these situations.
