Hello all,
My battery is not charging, engine starts and runs A1!
I ordered a rectifier received it and its a 3 wire rectifier.
When open open the engine cover, looks like the rectifier that already in there is a 4 wire square shape one. I double check the part number and it says 3 wire.
It is a 1970 Johnson 85 electric shift motor model # 85ESL70B
The rectifier I order is part # 580795 RECTIFIER & LEAD ASSEMBLY
I had jumped to the conclusion that my rectifier was bad, so i found a good deal and ordered one. When tested my current rectifier it seemed to be ok, I unplugged the leads one by one and made sure the current is one way by testing with an ohm meter. Im not sure if the test i did is correct.
now im assuming if the rectifier is Ok, the next thing is the Fuse? or Stator?
Im very new to boats, this is my first boat, Im trying to learn all this stuff.
thanks for your help!
