want to make sure it is a evin

want to make sure it is a evinrude ocean pro 90hp
Mod#XJ88TSLEDR and also does it have a charging system to keep the battery charged any info is greatley appreciatedabout the motor also what rpm should the motor run at an idle
 
I make that a 1996 88hp Johnso

I make that a 1996 88hp Johnson with a 20"(long) shaft. Maybe has the wrong cover on it!

I am pretty sure it has DC output for battery charging but not sure what output stator or whether the DC output is regulated or not.
 
it does have a rectifier regul

it does have a rectifier regulator on it. There's two yellow and one red wire the two yellow wires hook up one the rail just under neith the two wires that come out from under the flywheel and the red wire hooks up just under neith the yellow wires on the power strip so could I hook up a wire from that red one straight to my battery or no how would I go about that is there a certain wire I can look fir or something because my battery is not getting charged I don't think there is eanything hook up for it how would I go about this thanks
 
"The red wire is the dc +v

"The red wire is the dc +ve from the rectifier. The negative is grounded (the rectifier case is negative)

It sounds as though you have an unregulated rectifier, a cylindrical thing on a two bolt flange.

Shown as #79 in THIS DIAGRAM Some models have a more powerful stator and a rectifier/regulator which is also shown in that diagram as #82"
 
You need to look closely at th

You need to look closely at the terminal strip.There may be a loop over to the next terminal and it is " hooked up ". With the engine running at say 2000RPM test voltage on the battery it should be someting higher than 12.4 volts.
 
"As ikia says look closely at

"As ikia says look closely at what is connected already to the red wire on the terminal strip, but remember you will need a negative connection as well.
Take care not to connect the battery with the pos and neg the wrong way round. That will instantly destroy your rectifier!

Building on what ikia says about testing the volts a good battery when fully charged should read at least 12.7 volts after resting ie no charge or discharge for a number of hours but it will drop when starting the engine. When it is charging you should see the volts climb again as the battery charges. With no regulator it will eventually climb to 14 volts and higher probably to around 16 volts at full revs possibly even higher than that."

"so would I hook up the red on the strip and run it to the battery then how would I ground it out then<font color=""0000ff"">

"Pull a red cable from the strip to the starter solenoid B+ (where battery cable is attached), if not already done.(Is normally in the engine harness)
Attach Battery- to block close to starter. Normally there is a 'stud' just under the starter for the ground. Just tighten it with a nut."

"Brian.-----I think you need to stop running. I think you are imagining problems that you do not have.Look close at the wiring, get an ohmmeter and a wiring diagram and trace it all out.Take your time and stop guessing.---sorry to be so blunt."
 
under neith the starter there

under neith the starter there is a nut with the neg side of the battery running to it so do I still need to ground it out. Also which side of the soilinoid do irun the wire where the battery hooks up or where it goes from the silonoid to the starter also with a volt meter can I check to make sure thepower is being transfered off the power strip. If I start the motor and test the red wire on the strip howmany volt should it read. Thanks you guys have been a great help and saved me quite a bi tof cash.
 
"If Your battery - (negati

"If Your battery - (negative is already hooked up: No need to do anything.
If You have a Voltmeter:
Take black(On voltmeter) anywhere to engine ground and Red+ (on Voltmeter) to the red from the rectifier (Voltmeter on DC). If hooked up already, You should have 12,++ volts, depending on battery conditions. If NO reading on meter, pull a separate cable from Red on Strip to starter solenoid (Big Nut) where the + from battery goes in. (On the other side of solenoid a cable goes to starter -do not mess with that!)

Then hook up the Volt meter to battery and start engine. (don't forget water for cooling).
At idle there will be almost no increase in volt.
Carefully rev up to about 1500-2000 - voltage should climb. If so -charge system works."
 
when I got home I looked and s

when I got home I looked and seen the wire from regulatorto the starter selinoid whith the motor running and I pull the battery cables off the battery and tested the wire to starter and it is pulling about 4volts but when I hook up the battery still no diffrence in volts still 121/2 volts maybe replace regulator rectifier
 
Why in the world would you pul

Why in the world would you pull the cables off the battery???? Sorry but it appears you are learning / want the learn with your wallet.Get a service manual before you damage this motor.
 
"I wouldent say just learning

"I wouldent say just learning maybe bout motors but built enough mud trucks. So I checked the volts coming out of the rec/reg and it read 121/2 volts with the engine on and also tested off selinoid same volts and no change on the battery with rpm at 2,000-2,500 so what could it be maybe bad rec/regulator I gotta have a battery that is getting charged"
 
also how hot should the rec/re

also how hot should the rec/regulator get I noticed when the motor has run for a minute it gets slot voter than the engine
