Re: 1985 dt140 not charging!
In book clymer outboard shop manual, at 5000 rpm charging coil should put out at least 6 amps, i got 6 amps at 5000 rpm. my charging coil is located on my stator, i cannot replace charging coils separately charging coil bad = stator bad. sorry for the confusion. you must have a heck of a battery if your motor is pumping out 25v @ 1500rpm my 12v battery would fry. book says to use a self powered test lamp to check one way current through the different diodes of the rectifier, i did not use a test lamp, i checked the continuity which tested fine, current one way but not the other on the yellow and white leads, red and white, black and red and yellow and black. I do not have a separate voltage regulator, my motor only has a rectifier. when testing the charging coil resistance (stator) for the low speed check i got a reading of 654ohms book says between 600-900 is standard, on high speed i read 130ohms book says between 100-150 is standard. These are the tests that my book has for the charging system, all of the tests i conducted received satisfactory results when compared to the standards in the book. I was using a fluke voltmeter which also reads amps, and continuity, book says this method of testing may not be as good as using test specific suzuki issue equipment $ for them, but will work. If i may be missing anything that your noticing let me know.
