just joined out of google search jibber jabber and frustration.
recently bought a '83 targa with a '83 merc 115 on the back, its a runner and in good shape, but ive been fixing things here and there.
im new to outboards, but not new to how things work.
when i bought it the bilge was a disaster so i tore it all apart and installed dual batteries on a switch with new wiring throughout the boat.
my question is about the stator/ rectifier. im showing about 12.06 on my cranking battery with engine off. engine on it shows 12.4 at idle on the rectifier output post
is that low?
does anyone have specs for a definitive stator test?
according to cdi website my stator tested bad on the blue wires going to the ignition boxes but the boat runs fine and rips.
tested my rectifier and it only flows one way - good
thanks in advance!
