93 force 70 HP low current/voltage from regulator

[tmet01]

Mine has been low for years, draining batteries. Have not checked stator yet but the manual lists both 9 and 14 amp with different resistances. Don't know which to check for.
S/N OE23383.

Test the rectifier.

Check the stator AC output with the AC setting on your meter. At idle, you should get @14-15 volts at 2000 rpm you should get 18-20 volts. Also check the DC output at the regulator using the DC setting on your meter. At idle, it should be 12.5-13 and at 2000rpm it should be 14.5.

The readings are approximate but will let you know where your problem is.

Did you find the problem, if so, post it so others can be helped as well.

Only 4.5 VAC from the stator. Checked connections/wiring. Looks like the stator is the culprit.

Thanks for the help.
