1994 evinrude 140hp v4 looper

[morobinson]

While out testing the outboard/ fishing the other day.
I travled about 2 miles at about 1/2 throttle to a fishing spot and it ran good. Fished for a couple hour. When going to test it back to the dock I started it and it died (still tweaking carbs) before i got underway. Went to restart and the battery didn't have enough juice. I am only getting about 12.8volts at the battery when idling. Nothing mo. re at higher RPMs. From the research I've done it could be the regulator/rectifier. Or at least it's the best place to start looking. Does anyone know how to check the regulator/rectifier? I think this my regulator/rectifier.

Just 6 small bolts hold it on top of the block.----It mounts over a water jacket for cooling.----2 yellow wires.---A gray, purple and a red wire on it.

Thanks. Do I have to disconnect to.get a valid test?

 

[racerone]

Test the STATOR yellow wires..-----Post the ohm reading you get , yellow to yellow.------And 1 yellow to ground.----So 2 values are to be posted.

 

[morobinson]

Ok. Will check later today. Thanks

Does the motor need to be running?

 

[morobinson]

And what should my multimeter be set at: 600, 6000, 60k etc.

 

[racerone]

Disconnect the yellow wires.----Do NOT run the motor.---Just report the value in OHMS that you read.

 

[morobinson]

With the multi meter set at 600ohms. Yellow to yellow from the stator 0.7ohms
OL yellow to ground

 

[racerone]

Replace the rectifier regulator.

 

[morobinson]

Will do thanks

Can someone please verify that idle timing on 1994 evinrude 140hp v4 should be 4° before tdc
