Me thinks she's shorted. Relatively easy to change, pull the flywheel, unscrew the stator and disconnect the wires and swap it out.

Re: 1980 70hp charging system

what do you think about cdi versus oem? oem part#0581957 states 6a,cdi states 9a .which is better/ more durable?

CDI is making half the replacement parts as it stands , CDI one will do you just fine but price is what counts.

thanks for the info. 9 amp versus 6 amp,why 2 diff ? which is better?

Re: 1980 70hp charging system

3 amp more to charge , the difference isn't huge. Now if you went from 6 to 35 you'd have some room for an amp and some subs and maybe some neon lights . Typically the larger amp systems were for power trim and tilt which I don't think you have. You run lights and a ff, 6 amp is adequate, 9 amp is just a little more.

Re: 1980 70hp charging system

that makes sense now ,i do have tilt and trim. not listed in serial number,but may have been added by previous owner.unsure as i recently purchased from another individual. i think i will stay with the 9 amp.
