Ive got a 1996 mercury 40 hp 4 cylinder seriel number OG343273 that I have a stator question. The battery is not charging, and the tach is screwy. I replace rectifier/regulator and it charged for a while, but now its not charging again. I suspect rect/reg is blown again, so I think the stator may be bad. The stator tests bad as it has .2 amps resistance accross the 2 yellow wire and the manual calls for .5 to 1.0 amps. Am I doing this test correctly? Does anyone have a used stator that they would like to sell for this motor? Its the same as the 45 and 50 horse 4 cylinders and some 3 cylinders.<br /><br />Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Van
