Will it hurt the 1991 40hp evinrude to run the motor until I can get a replacement rectifier installed?? I know this is for the recharging the battery and how many starts on the average can you expect from a good fully charged battery with out the recitifer working???

Re: rectifier

yes it can and likely will damage your stator. you can test your rectifier by getting a DVA adapter and the free troubleshooting guide ..both links are in my sig below.

Re: rectifier

Don't run the stator on an open circuirt as it will blow it. You may try grounding the stator wires but I've never tried it.
