Well after years of having no problems with my engine (1986 Evinrude V6-150), i am back.<br /><br />This week, a late night fishing trip resulted in a dead battery, 3 miles out. Things seemed pretty normal on the way out. When we finished the nights fishing, we go to crank it upDead. Call for a tow boat, try the jumper pack, but it didnt have the power. Had to do the battery switch (I know its bad for the V-Reg, but we had to get in).<br /><br />Charged the battery back up, dropped it in... And I get 12.4 V on all three Voltmeters, started the engineNo change, still 12.4V. My tach is slow between 0-2000 rpms, when I rev the engine it stops around 3000 rpms, but I know the engine is well around 4000.<br /><br />I dont have any other info than that, and I am not good with electric. My guess, of course would be the V Reg, Rectifier, Stator, Power Pack... but if you could help me out maybe you could tell me where I could start to fix the problem...<br /><br />Thank you in advance!
