    stator and regulator/rectifier checklist, your input requested please.

    My 89 OMC 2.0 liter Seadrive is currently undercharging and I wanted to find out how to troubleshoot the stator and regulator/rectifier to determine which part needs to be replaced. After a few hours of searching and reading the Clymer manual several times, I compiled a list of things to check...

    Test Barrel

    Some of the troubleshooting I need to do involves bringing the engine up to 4500 RPM's to test the voltage output of some charging components. I was hoping to put my engine in a barrel of water to do this since I don't think the muffs could keep up at this RPM. However, I read in another post...

I read through a few...

    OMC Full Throttle fuel pump? problem

    I have an 89 OMC 140 Seadrive. When I have the throttle wide open the engine it runs good for a couple of minutes but then the engine hesitates, the RPMs drop by about 1000 and then return. This drop and return in RPM continues until I lower the throttle or have someone pump the primer bulb. If...
