Wrong connection and rpm problem.

[Daniel Beckman]

Did connect the minus to plus an vice verse last summer and i did not get any problem after that i guess...knock on wood..<br />But i look at my volt meter last time i was on the lake and it did look like it charge the batterys (got two) high..about 16-17 volt and then it did get back and charge it normaly to about 14V.<br />Dont know if it had anything to do with my fault or if its because i got really good charged battery after the winter.<br />But i got a problem with my engine, it wont run smooth when it hits 4800 rpm (start to stutter like it needs more fuel). at 4500 rpm it runs perfect.<br />Dont know if the rpm thing can have anything with the battery wrong connections fault to do.<br />Maybe someone else know?..<br /><br />Johnson 175 faststrike -92

Daniel Beckman You probally fried part of the rectifier. I would start by checking it and seeing if you did. It do't take but a second to do it. Diodes only take electric one way.<br />steve

Shouldn't be too hard the manual will show you how to ohm check it. I am not sure for your motor but I just had one short out to ground. It caused all kinds of power loss.But mine wasn't charging the batteries at all so I knew to look at the rectifier.<br />steve
