    blackmax 200hp 1989 problems

    yeah, '89 could be either one... if its still got tha idle stab. i'd chunk it... disconnect tha regulator jus for testin'.... i'd start with tha rectifier.. that "should" clear up tha tach problem.... ya need ta test stator and trigger.... back fire would lead me mostly to tha trigger... jmo.

    blackmax 200hp 1989 problems

    does it have tha 16 or 40 amp stuff on it? a back fire usually involves timin' in some form or another.. erratic tach usually involves either rectifier and or regulator.. if its a 40 amp motor both will be in one unit... tha big water cooled thingy under tha coils.....
