just put 8 gallons of gas in my 89 Force 125hp and burned through it in under 2 hrs. Is this normal for these motors to suck down so much fuel? My 4 cylinder I/o seemed to get a lot run time.
Cant “overcharge” the battery per say but you can boil the electrolyte out of them. Thus the warning to not use maintenance free batteries in an unregulated systemWhat prevents the battery from over charging? If it’s getting a 16 V supply as per my gauge and confirm with a separate VOM how does the battery not overcharge and get damaged?
Please forgive my ignorance with this as it is totally new to me. Just so I am correct I am going to remove this old rectifier install the new universal 4 lead regulator rectifier in its place and connect the black to the ground, the red to the red that is shown in my photo, one yellow to the green wire, and one yellow to both the green and purple wire together? Also a lot of them I see state 200 W or less is that sufficient in this circumstance?
