[. . . ] CAUTION: A hazard that could result in minor personal injury or property damage. NOTE: is used to notify people of important installation, operation, or maintenance information. WARNING Explosive Fuel can cause fires and severe burns. Do not fill fuel tank while engine is hot or running. [. . . ] There are two different rectifier-regulators which are used; an 18 amp and a 10 amp assembly. Although externally similar, internal circuits differ and two should not be interchanged. Rectified Only (non-regulated) Systems Some engines are equipped with a rectified only, nonregulated charging system, with output ranging from 3 amps to 4 amps. Rectifier is normally connected to engine with a matching wiring harness and secured inside control panel. Grounding is achieved through wiring harness. Rectifier converts AC voltage coming from stator to DC voltage only. F E C A C E Ignition Module Optional Red Ignition Switch Oil Control Module B D F Spark Plug Oil Float Switch Optional Micro Shut Down Switch b. On electric start engines, trace four leads (red, red/white, black, black/white) from key switch and separate them from any connections. Connect ohmmeter leads to black and black/white leads and check for continuity in all three switch positions. Then connect ohmmeter leads to red and red/white leads and test again in all three switch positions. Condition Conclusion Continuity should be Replace switch for any indicated between black other results. If voltage is 14. 0 volts or more, place a minimum load of 5 amps (turn on lights if 60 watts or more, or place a 2. 5 ohm, 100 watt resistor across battery terminals) on battery to reduce voltage. Condition Voltage is 15. 0 volts or less. Battery is unable to hold a charge; service or replace. Faulty rectifier-regulator; replace. 2. Separate bullet connectors in AC (white) leads. Connect an AC voltmeter across stator leads (female terminals). With engine running at 3600 RPM, measure AC output from stator. Condition Voltage is 20. 0 volts or more. Stator is probably faulty and should be replaced. Test stator further using an ohmmeter (step 3). 3. With engine stopped, measure resistance from each stator lead to ground using an ohmmeter.
