My Merc 135 V-6 '86-'88 (not sure because of serial# removal) does not charge the battery, runs bad, and I tested the stator - tested a little low - should be from 4.5-6.2(red-blue) got 4.4. Should be 5.4-6.2 (red/stripe-blue/stripe)got 4.6. Should be 125-175 (red-ground) got 74.4. Should be 125-175(red/stripe-ground) got 75.4. <br /><br />So I'm assuming the stator is busted. Is there something I should be worried about on the engine that I should change that may bust the new stator? I'd hate to strap on a new one for it to get busted again. (also bought a new rectifier because it was cheap and the stator plugs into it.)<br /><br />any help would be great!

Reds and Blues are not for the charging side of the alternator...the ones that you should be checking are Yellow.<br /><br />Should be continuity between them.<br /><br />TMD

Thanks Doc,<br /><br />By the way, what are the blue/red and the blue white stripe/red white stripe wires for?

They supply the initial current to the powerpack for ignition.<br /><br />TMD

OK, I checks the yellow wires, got a reading of .4 ohms... what does that mean? Battery still not charging... what would you suggest at this point?<br /><br />Thanks for the use of your infinite wisdom.
