    Confused? Voltage Regulator vs Rectifier; Tach & Charging

    1980 Johnson 115 V4 2 Stroke Greetings. I could use some input from people who know more than I. Every time I try to look up info about a voltage regulator for my motor I get returns on rectifier/regulator. These are two different components are they not? If they are as I believe, does the...

    Force Power. Would you mind looking back at the pic I sent of the top view of the carb? The only adjustments I made were to the mixture screws. However there is a white plastic screw just behind the carb cover and in front of the mixture screw. I looked at the parts manual but not exactly...

    1990 Force 120 2 stroke loss of power high rpm

    Next I adjusted on carbs for a while and finally got her running at idle smoothly. I touched nothing else. Normally when coming on power the throttle / shifter control is about half way pushed forward. After all adjustments...boat comes on power with the throttle / shifter control over 3/4...

    Question 3: When I got in the intake manifold where top carb is mounted was covered with condensation and intake was cold to the touch. Is this normal?
