    battery charging issue has me stumped

    If it ain't the battery, which it's highly likely it is, it's a dirty wire. Either the grounds or power at solenoid. Just because something shows its charging when its not hooked to a battery doesn't mean when it has a draw on it....it will test good. Battery or a wire if what your telling us...

    Once again Occma's Razor. If it makes you feel any better, I had to eat crow on here myself and it didn't taste very good!

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    He keeps calling it a regulator. See post 17. Either it has a bad diode or the battery is "Kaput"!

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Ever hear of a diode? It's a rectifier.....repeat, rectifier.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    "Battery seems fine" yet I see no proof. The battery is the regulator. Rectifier just converts it to usable power. If your getting a charge at the wires then your system is good. It appears that your battery has a headache similar to ones wife!

    You can heli-coil the spark plug hole and make sure to true up the head with a super flat surface and a sheet of sandpaper. Figure 8 pattern will get you there.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    I agree with oldboat or if you have a tester (volt meter) you can do a resistance test on the rectifier. Pretty straight forward with lots of stuff on YouTube.

    Yeah.... Nice spark plug. Your right, clean up the plug...re-gap it, re-install the head and drink some beer! Hahahaha! Racerone, will walk you through it....I think he's part "Bushman". I would just hone the cylinder, knurl the piston, change the rings, bolt it together and drive it like you...

    Basic Evinrude 15 question

    I believe your messing with the tilt lock or something. It's right where I said and probably froze up.

    Well take out the obvious..... The planet, taking care of mother Earth. But let's take that out of the equation, super reliable as long as you keep up with the alarms and shut it down when it tells you to. Vro stands for variable ratio oiling, so what does that mean? It means that at idle it's...

    2000 70 hp

    I agree.....could be worth $3000.00 could be worth nothing....I'm not there. But I'll tell you some facts about what I paid last year for a 2002 70 that pretty much is your motor. It's laying down in my shop because I can't get to it. So here's what it is. It's the engine that's sits on a...

    I don't think I'd ask any questions, I would just get my money clip out of my front pocket and give him a whole bunch of Ben Franklin's. One side note though looks can be deceptive!!!😆😆😆

    2000 70 hp

    Do we have any pictures? Questions to ask, does it run and if so does it run well? Why are you selling it? Anything I should know?? Does that make them nervous? Last but not least, is there any corrosion? Nothing really specific for that particularly fine running model.
