Hello
new on this forum and happy to see lota of people helping

I am from Turkey and triying to fix a 40R73D
its hard to find spare parts in Turkey
I am looking for how to charge my battery with this outboard

does it have changing system on it?

There was charging kit for it. The kit is no longer available although many of the individual parts are

See http://www.marineengine.com/parts/j...rt+40+Hp+Models&yid=34231&mid=34232&sid=35627

Fit a solar panel and a suitable PWM regulator

40R is a rope start motor. The belt driven DC generator kit was for electric start models, meaning the rope start motor will have the wrong flywheel to drive the generator. Besides the flywheel and generator, you will need a voltage regulator and a bunch of other stuff. Simply put, it just isn't worth it here in U.S. and I suspect a lot worse in Turkey.

Thanks for ur reply the engine is electric start but can not find a dc generator that can fit inside

If it is electric start, then somebody has converted it. So the question remains, does the flywheel have the cogged belt drive in the center?

I might have a kit here but shipping gonna be brutal. Damn good motors, just took a 1972, one owner in on trade.
Note to Gator: Turkey may have assembled the motor from available parts.....might have different equipment than tag indicates. Case in point: My 1967 Chevy Impala setting in our garage in the Philippines was assembled by a Hardware Store....ID tag intact. 6 cyl. 3 speed with a 12 bolt rear end. 12 bolts were reserved for 275 hp motors and up here in the US.....In Philippines they use what is available.....maybe same in Turkey.

Good point about building one from parts. Heck, I've done it myself, right here in Florida, USA.

no belt drive exist. The genarator is so different type its too small. Looking for alternators that can fit inside but most of them are big like car alternators

The factory generator was similar in size to the starter motor.------Output of 10 amp at full throttle.----Not too hard to find in my area.------Not sure how many were sold in Turkey.

Would it be possible to snap some photos of the motor? Have to downsize to about 1000k. Never tried to use screenshot on a photo.......might work too....gonna try it now.....raining but will take a picture of my new 1972.
Screenshot reduced size but not enough to work here. Used "litphoto" and reduced to around 400k.
