I thought about testing the rectifiers to see what the difference is but I said screw it im going fishing. I just got back home.
I’m thinking about ordering another one as a spare.
Problem solved. Boat is now fully operational. Going on the water in 1hr.
So problem was.
No tach and no charging. Replaced rectifier (part from Amazon). Still no tach and no charging.checked all wires. Replaced stator. Still no tach or charging. 2nd new rectifier from Amazon but...
I put a new stator and regulator/rectifier on.
The engine runs great but
No change. Still no tach and no charge.
I ohm tested all the wires. Everything is good.
I guess the new regulator/rectifier is bad ?
I guess I’ll order a new one.
Any more help?
This would be sad if this ends my...
The engine has a warning.
When cowl off no more then 3000rpm.
So I only had it at about 800 rpm when I checked the yellow wires from the stator.
Ok so next step is remove stator for inspection?
Yes 18v ac.
With a probe on each yellow wire coming from stator.
With engine running and two yellow wire disconnected from engine.
So stator is ok?
I guess the new regulator is no good.
I can’t see anything else.
I did that and not working.
I just checked every wire in the circuits by ohms on the connection. All of the connections are good.
I think the new regulator is no good.
I’m ordering another one?
I just ran the engine with the two yellow wires coming from the stator disconnected.
I get 18v when I touch both wires with the probes.
So stator is good?
It went from working great to no charge and no tach.
That’s why I changed the rectifier.
Maybe the new rectifier is ng also.
How do I check it?
I’m going to check everything i can see.
