having some problems with my 1995 evinrude 48 special. I'm not sure if it is putting out enough voltage to charge the battery properly. What voltage should I expect at idle and at a higher rpm like 4000?
I know this thing doesn't have an alternator, but what does the charging on this motor?
Thanks! |

13.5v to 15.5v should be around normal but might be as low as 12.3v these are not from the service manual just normal readings for 12 volt charging systems |
