Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

oh its a 1990 135 HP "V" 6 I am trying to figure what of the 3 charts to use doing a dva test they have 2 16 amp systems and 1 40 amp system I know its not the 40 amp because of the style of the stator but the 16 amp has 2 different fly wheels to choose from Thanks Bob

Only difference is one is a flex plate design and other is a cast one piece and the 40 amp is vent and taller.

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

is there any pictures of what these look like or a parts number that i can match up what i have i do know the 16 amp is incapsulated and the 40 is not but they say there are 3 different flywheels and a 16 amp stator with a 40 amp flywheel will produce over 500 volts so i really need to tell for shur what i have thanks bob

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

Be easier to post picture of your flywheel to determine what you have...

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

will do thanks and like i said the mercury manual says its very dangerous to mix match these one way they wount fit 40 amp stator & 16 amp flywheel but the other way 16 amp stator with a 40 amp fly wheel extream voltage will occur of over 500 volts hea I wonder if i can make my oun electricty in the back yard this way with 10 to 15 of these engines running this way LOL Thanks Bob

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

question if its a 40 amp stator another web site states that a 16 amp fly wheel wont fit over the 40 amp stator boy I am confussed on what i really got hear yea and in the pictures the cover is vented like the 40 amp and the stator is not incapsulated, like a 40 amp you still think we got a 16 amp fly wheel Thanks Bob

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

Easy way to tell is look at your rectifier, if its the small square 3 terminal aboove the switcboxes its a 16 amp, if it has large single one mounted on exhaust chest or has dual rectifier on exhaust cover it a 40 amp. The did make a few flex plate 40 amp flywheels which are great for racing....

I will check tommarow morning I think the regulator is mounted on the exhaust plate or port side of the engine and the switch boxs are on the starbord side with the starter seloinod above them but that recterfirer i have to look closer thanks and i will get back tommarow again thanks Bob also I going to do a dva test and see if all the readings match closest to thanks Bob

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

oh did they make the 16 amp come in a incapsulated and non incapsulated style, the mercury manual says the 40 amp only came in a non capsulated style and they also state the 16 amp came in a smoth capsulated style.

And if a previous owner replaced the stator with a CDI aftermarket it will also be non encapsulated whether it be a 16 or 40 amp.

Re: fly wheels flex plate or cast iron type

oh and the dva test all matchs up with the 40 amp specs. the 16 amp in the book with both the flex & cast iron flywheels we off so what do you think it can be a 40 amp with a flex type flywheel

That's 40 amp, single coil stator, water cooled regulator.
