I’ve got a 90 HP 1995 (?) Evinrude 2-stroke outboard. We’ve had some problems with yhd battery not having enough juice at the end of the day to start the engine. I checked the starter & battery with an electical system tester: the starter was good, the battery came up on the borderline between “good” & “weak.” It’s quite old, so I bought a new battery, but I wanted to just check the charging system also, b/c we have a trip coming up in a month.
I measured the voltage and at idle, it’s 12.7v. Raise the throttle a little, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2... Was on shore with earmuffs, so didn’t want to push it any faster, but the higher the rpm, the higher tge voltage.
Does this sound like a failing regulator, weak stator, or is everything ok?
Thanks.
