Good day everyone,
Last year I got a boat with a 86 85hp force motor. It didn’t run at full speed when I got it. While checking things I shorted the rectifier with a screw driver. After that I changed the rectifier and it worked great. Until end of summer that is. Than the problem started up again. No spark on third cylinder. So come this season I naturally thought it needed a new rectifier, that it blew somehow. I changed the rectifier with 3 different ones and none made a difference. Tested them with a meter and they test out the same and only have continuity one direction as they should. I am curious if anyone has had similar issues or knows where to check? I’ve checked all the wires for continuity last summer and couldn’t find any broken wires anywhere.
Thank you
