I have two Mariner 40 4 cyls--91 and 92 models. One has a voltage regulator--that I think is bad--and the other has what I think is just a rectifier. The regulator is a small epoxy covered circuit board--yellow in color--with two yellow, two red, and one gray wire. The rectifier is a smaller black module with 3 posts.
What is the difference? Why does one have a regulator and the other just a rectifier?
Will the stator that was on the motor with the regulator work on the motor running the rectifier?
Finally, if the rectifier or regulator is bad will it damage the stator during testing the motor?
Thanks for all of the help--CD ignition diagnostics are new to me.
