voltage regulator

Re: voltage regulator

The original problem was the battery was getting drained. And volt meter stays 11.5-12v. So i changed the regulator.<br />Now the battery is not getting drained. Volt meter is staying the same. <br />The engine turns on fine at 1st. Took it for a quick spin for about 30min with no problem. Turned the boat off and on again without a problem. Then all the sudden when i try again its just turning and not starting. I check the battery cables and the negative(black)is burning up.

Re: voltage regulator

the cable that is getting hot, how big is it? is it possible you left another ground strap off? Is the positive cable getting hot?<br />Are the wires getting hot up to the regulator? Best disconnect the ground before you have a fire, then we'll continue.........<br />

this is not good. . .

Re: voltage regulator

The last time i checked it was just the negative that was hot. Before i changed the regulator it was both. The wires got hot all the way up to the starter.<br /><br />Is it posible my starter solenoid is bad? looks pretty rusty to me. <br /><br />I dont wanna change the whole wiring harness.
