Rectifier problem
« on: March 20, 2020, 07:38:32 PM »
 1987 170 with 1987 Johnson 110 replaced rectifier worked for 40 minutes then quit working what could cause this
Well I should say the tach and the vote gauge dropped before I replaced it the tach would work until you got above 2000 RPMs now it does nothing

Jus curious....how did you come to conclusion the rectifier was the issue before replacing?

It could be a loose wire haven’t had time to look but when I had it out this weekend it was working

I never checked it myself the guy I got it from was a mechanic and told me that was the only thing wrong with it and it did not charge according to the gauge and the tach did not work properly so I replaced it and everything worked for about 40 minutes or an hour and then it quit
