GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I hope this subject hasn't been posted before, and that i just couldn't find it.
This is a rebuild on a mercruiser 470 ser# 5480148
First off i am doing alternator upgrade also. The wiring issue is that I have a red/purple wire that goes to circuit breaker and is spliced going to regulator ...
Thank you Faztbullet i was wondering about that. The stator is doesnt working anymore and the rotor has a magnet missing so i can pull the rest of them out and i am good to go.
thanks for the replys. As part of the upgrade all i see is the pulley that is bolted to the rotor. of the old alternator. Is there anything that balances the crankshaft, IE; harmonic balancer. Every kit that i have seen doesn't address this issue. I am missing something.
I did a rebuild on a 470 Was wondering if anybody has ever swapped out the generator/alt. that is on the crankshaft and put in a harmonic balancer and a belt drive alt. on one?
I have been told that those alt. are not that reliable, so don't know why it wouldn't work.
Any help with this would...
