Hi, I just wanted to share an experience I had today out on the water and possibly get some insight on the subject,I took my boat out on a test run after tune up etc...all seemed well until the engine suddenly reducedto idle while under way then stalled? after removing the hood I noticed that the Green trigger wire from the stater had snapped off of the ring terminal due to age and vibration, so I quickly whipped out a flathead screwdriver and re attatched the bare wire to the screw and then she fired right back up and seemed back to normal,then I noticed that for the first time with this engine it was overcharging at 16-17+ before the wire snapped it was under 14? I'm just trying to figure this out, the only difference is that the there is a temporary bare wire on the screw vs a ring terminal? could the event have sparked trouble?
any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
