I got a 1988 Suzuki dt150 that I have put on a pontoon and I'm having a few electrical problems. first I cant get the tach to work. anybody know which wire coming out of the motor is for the tach? also it doesn't seem to be charging , does anybody know how and what to check to see if its charging properly? any info would be much appreciated. thx, chris
 
Most tachs. run of the rectifier/regulator which also charge the battery, Place a voltmeter on battery posts,take reading,start engine,reading should be higher14.5 Non running reading should be 12.6
 
I downloaded a manual and found which wire is the tach wire and hooked it up to 2 different tachs and neither work. I did your test and the voltage stays the same running as not running around 12.35 volts. the manual doesn't say exactly how to check the stator or regulator/rectifier so I'm going to cross my fingers and replace the regulator/rectifier. thx for the help.
