    Regulator/Rectifier question?

    Yes so am I, I am going to resistance check all the wiring associated with the regulator/rectifier and battery circuit but I suspect it's fine as its all new. Maybe there is a bad earth connection on the solenoid terminal I will clean them up and hopefully find out why there is a voltage loss.

    Regulator/Rectifier question?

    Ot424434; Okay it just confused me because it will only read the true voltage of the battery when the engine is off and then when it's running it will be 13.5-14volts. Does the rectifier work by limiting its output when the battery reaches full charge or is it not that sophisticated? The other...

    Regulator/Rectifier question?

    I have a 2001 60hp 2 stroke mariner. My outboard wasn't charging so I installed a new regulator rectifier. The two red wires leaving the rectifier one is the voltage sense wire, the other is the DC output. I've checked the DC output is putting out 13.5-14v when the engine is running, it is...

    Cylinders firing in the wrong order?

    For anyone having this issue I ended up checking the wiring and I had cylinder one and three wires mixed around on the trigger. Amazing it could even run like that.

    Cylinders firing in the wrong order?

    I have a 2002 60hp Mariner 2 stroke, I recently replaced the trigger. After installing a second hand merc trigger I followed the manual and set the idle timing to +-1 TDC at cranking speed on cylinder number 1 (top cylinder), and WOT timing to 22B.T.D.C. The engine started and ran rough and then...

    Trouble with timing 2002 60hp 2 Stroke

    I tried rotating the stator in three seperate positions, it made no difference to the timing. I ended up buying a second hand mercury trigger and it fixed the problem. Guess it was a dodgey aftermarket trigger.

    Trouble with timing 2002 60hp 2 Stroke

    Yea that's what I did to figure out what holes the screws were in, although it could still be in the wrong position. It's a no name one from china but looks identical to cdi electronics, probably the same. Okay thanks I'll try one hole clockwise and report back. Appreciate the help.

    Trouble with timing 2002 60hp 2 Stroke

    Hey Fitz yea I had considered this, I did some googling and some people said it doesn't affect the timing and some said it does. Unfortunately I didn't mark it before I removed the stator so I just went of which holes has the impressions of the bolts on them. Is there a way to determine the...

    Trouble with timing 2002 60hp 2 Stroke

    Hey guys, I have a Mariner 2002 60hp 2 stroke 3 cylinder. I am having trouble timing the engine after replacing the trigger with an aftermarket trigger. The motor has spark on all cylinders but does not want to start and backfires occasionally, I checked the timing as per the service manual on...
