As I mentioned in a older post,
Motors I'm referencing are: 1987 Evinrude 90HP E90TLCUR and a 1989 Evinrude 90HP E90TLCEM - both have the tilt / trim on both motors, so I am the luck one that uses the $$$ regulator/rectifier
Anyways, I disconnected the wire that's attached to the gray wire that comes from the regulator/rectifier to the wiring terminal, and touched it to the bolt head of the Yellow / Red wire right above it, and when i did that, I seen that the tach moved. So by reading, its saying that the regulator/rectifier is probably toast. I was wondering, is it possible to use a jumper wire from the yellow / red wire, down to where the gray wire is connected, right below it? I have a 1987 Evinrude 90HP.. and was hoping the regulator/rectifier from the 1989 Evinrude 90HP would work, but they appear to be different in that on the 87, the red wire leads over to the starter solenoid, and on the 89, the red wire leads to the wiring terminal along with the other 4 wires.
So since the red wire on the 1987 regulator/rectifier runs over to the starter solenoid, then appears to run from the starter solenoid back over to the wire terminal, couldn't I use the one on the 1989, and instead of running the red wire straight to the wire terminal like it currently is on the 1989, just run it to the starter solenoid as well like it is on the 1987? just think of ways to save 200+ bucks.
