I've installed a new stator and rectifier on a 1982, 35hp Evinrude and am curious what kind of power I should be getting from it to the battery.
I used a 12v automotive probe style tester and with the motor running, I did a test on the (RED) wire from the rectifier and it was a fairly good light. Not as bright as the battery put out, but not bad. I tested the three yellow wires from the stator and they all showed a dimmer light that brightened with a rev of the motor.
Next, I checked the volts in the battery and it was 12.48 prior to starting. I used a volt meter on the battery. When started and with a rev, not a big one, the reading went from 12.48 to 12.55, and without the rev it settled back down again.
I did a continuity test on the red wire that goes from the connection at the rectifier wire to the cable that connects to the battery and there's good continuity. I'm ***uming that this is all correct. So.....is the little bit of voltage rise that I'm getting with the rev correct for my setup?
