I believe these are two separate issues...
First, The tach recently died and I have noticed the charging of the battery is gone as well. I have read the forum to realize I have an issue with the rectifier/regulator but here is the question. I don't have a service manual to obtain a P/N for what I need? I looked on www.mercurypartsexpress.com but cannot find a rectifier for my engine, I do see the voltage regulator (88825A 7 @ 164.92) Is this what I need? I called a local dealer and he states there is a separate rectifier (816770T @ 45.64) on my engine. How would I confirm this without looking at the boat. I store it hours away and wanted to bring the correct parts with me next trip. Can some verify or confirm this for me?
Also, The engine consistently has a hard time starting after sitting for a week or more if and only if the tank is not full. The engine seems to struggle to get gas. It will eventually fire up but seems to always be flooded with oil at that time? It is obviously an oil injected engine. Any thoughts on where to start the investigation? The bulb always seems to prime OK full tank or not. Just takes significantly longer to fire. Like a difference of 5 seconds vs 30 seconds. Very consistently
Any help would be appreciated
