Hello all,
I also have a posting about a fuel starving engine, but that is not the only problem....
I have a 1975 Johnson 70HP outboard. I recently noticed that the outboard no longer charges the battery, or at least it is slowing getting drawn out. I checked the battery tonight and it was at 9.0 volts DC. So i have it hooked up to a charger and it is charging...I also have a portable battery booster that I have to recharge as I used it to get my outboard going as well.
There is no melting of the potting on the stator, so i assume it is all right as well.
I need to know where to go from here to get it running nicely again. What could have damaged the charging circuit? It has a new battery and the connections are all mint. Please advise!
