    1994 Johnson 120 barely charging... head scratcher?

    4 wire rectifier

    You can ignore the blue and grey stripes when connecting to a rectifier. They are only important if using the output for AC lighting.

    6.5hp Evinrude Commercial electrical outlet

    IT is an AC output for lighting At first glance it might appear to be a 3 phase but it is not because there are only 2 coils. I suppose it's a 2 phase output! I will attempt to post a photo of the section from my manual ( for an ordinary 6hp engine) that shows how to use the socket for...

    Have a j8renm. It had beem sitting for a few years.

    8 hp evinrude model E8RCCS

    The model number you quote in the heading is for a 1988 8 hp model ! Which is it a 1988 8hp or a 1980 7.5 hp I dont think you can assemble it with the cam "out of position" but maybe it could be upside down ?????? If its a 1980 model the plunger #33 could be missing see...
