Hey guys, got a '95 115 that had bad tach signal and eratic voltmeter readings well above 16 volts...this (thinking I'm so darn smart) led me to the reg/rect. which I changed out. Had some hard start issues so I done a thorough carb job w/kits. Had weak water pressure so I put a pump in too.
Several things happened on start-up....still hard starting even after linc-n-sync (and I pride myself on my abilities in that area,lol..) Water pressure is great at Idle, 2-3psi, right where I would expect, but voltage shows 18volts and at Idle on the muffs, tach shows 450 and I know it's above a 1000. Same thing I had before the reg/rect change. 13.9 volts at batt when gauge says 18 so I know I have an indication issue there.
Compression top 2 is about 120 each...a bit "high" to me...and the bottom 2 are 92 and 95...something ran through the lower carb I believe. Comp readings with throttle plates closed too!
Can a Stator have taken out the reg/rect., and now be bad enough to ruin a coil? should be 2 completely different circuts should it not?
#3 fouls quickly...put new plug in, runs a few minutes and is fouled again, yet spark tester doesn't show any missfire. Piston tops all look brown, no craters, very light carbon, very light-normal to me.
I'm going to try another coil on #3, and a tach and voltmeter....I don't think staor is bad because voltage is correct at batt when running, but could a bad Reg/Rect. take out the tach AND voltmeter??
