I don't have a service manual for this motor (anybody know a source for one?)

Tach works fine.

I am fairly familar with outboard charging systems but without a manual it's fairly tough.

Can somebody walk me through the diagnosis and parts locations?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Parts Express on Mercurymarine.com for a factory manual. As mentioned previously, you'll need the serial number and about $75.00. Ouch you say! Well, that $75.00 is probably the best investment you can make if you intend to work on your engine. One mistake can screw up a perfectly good engine.

I had a similar problem on my 60hp 4stroke bigfoot. There is an extra fuse on the electric cable for the altenator that isnot indicated in the manual. It is an inline fuse located on the lower section of the engine. Might just be that simple!:rolleyes:

Hi African Angler,

I seem to have the same problem. But in my case the fuse is melted with the fuse box. Which is really odd. I tried to find the cable as a spare part but could not locate it anywhere in the diagrams.

My Engine is Mercury 40HP F40ELPTEFI SN: 0P513680

Can someone help me to find the spare part number please?

THank you very much for your help.
