P60, only have digital meter per manual can't be used due to low ohm testing less than 10 ohm. when I did test with digital meter per manual testing guide lines I got no readings. Kind of a long story but finished fishing for the day and was heading in when engine started running bad. made it back to landing and removed cowl. entire power head was drenched. upon closer inspection at home discovered all power head bolts snapped, front of exhaust guide casting broken. Removed power head, discovered bolts broken flush or very slightly below base of power head. I was able to remove 5 of the 6 longer bolts snapped off inside power head casting (5 1/2 hours later) without damaging threads the sixth I was able to get with vise grip. the two shorter bolts I was able to use socket. I then ordered parts to correct this problem. Downloaded manual for torque specs. reinstalled power head and headed to the river, test ran good but noticed these new issues, I have owned this motor since new and just figured due to age of motor and no plans to sell I would install both electrical components. I can't say if the water spraying under the cowl took out the rectifier or lighting coil as I was getting low voltage warnings on my humminbird and would also have a low battery when I got home that needed charging. Funny thing is I've been a river rat since I was 14 years old and owned a few boats. When I down loaded the manual in the periodic maintenance section is says to periodically re-torque the power head, Well this old dog learned something new and will be checking them periodically lol. Do you think the lighting coil replacement may correct the loading issue or has no relation to it. All carbs have been removed, cleaned and tuned. They were actually almost spotless, no sediment in the bowls. Motor running great no performance issues other than the loading up.
