    charging issue 1988 xr4

    This looking right?......... It appears to me this is no more than a separated rectifier and regulator setup. If the reg. was disconnected from the rec, its possible it was disconnected for a reason eh? So if you find its shot........it appears doing a quick search at new...

    Where to find replacement live well timer

    Either or............RS has the pins tho (might have to buy a old size housing to get the 3 [get 4 pins, you'll mess at least one up] pins you'll need) , they're just standard molex pins. If you have a smaller mandrel crimper, could just unpin and re-use the old housing (de-pinning tool below or...

    Tilt/Trim Motor stator field coil windings connections

    Find anything odd doing this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNV7TylIzSY BTW and FWIW, I dug through my pic's of when I had mine apart........Standard "square motor" 3 wire but as I said, it's a circa 92 - 4 brush unit. So the reason I post this pic, is it raised a question in my mind...

    HVAC Quote...Adding AC into a Existing Furnace

    It is unreasonable for me to ask the guy to break out the time from material costs? I have a quote totaling for about $3K to add AC into my existing forced air furnace, nothing special, no big deal. Of course the quote includes T&M (He has list of various reasonable materials and a line item...

    Green trace, yours should be close to mine i'd reckon. So thinking yes..........Next test on the water and whats it look like at 5K'ish? Looks like you got it in the bag though.......

    Tilt/Trim Motor stator field coil windings connections

    David, No, not crackers and I consider that it would be less powerful (half as much)lacking running the other side simultaneously but depending in the current (amps) through the one side at design time, enough torque was be created knowing the work it had to do..... A, Shunt B, Series C...

    Tilt/Trim Motor stator field coil windings connections

    Not sure how well you can see the vector arrows (dwg ---> pdf loss, zooming helps. 3D might help, maybe later) and i think I have all the vectors correctly for specific directions of current (it been a while, arrow tails [crosses] show direction of current entry) but one field at a time creates...

    Prop Shaft End Play Spec

    92 Merc 2.5L 175HP SN 0D103921 I think mine is waaay toooo much, I'll put a dial on it in a bit but, in the mean time............ I have read and searched the manual and here, seems to not really be a official spec documented on "prop shaft" end play (push/pull on shaft w/o prop on), anybody...

    1989 MERCURY V-135 - Mystery Cut Oil Line??? - HELP!!!

    It is #6, it's used as a air intake relief vent to prevent a vacuum from forming in the reserve tank (#9) as oil gets used/removed. This can happen if the main oil line (#4) to the reservoir tank (#1) gets pinched/plugged off. It's fine the way it is and should left pointing downwards to...

    what are the ports on the fuel pump?

    Yes, I'll assume the hose is coming from same'ish porting area/type......not same motor but same difference

    92 Mariner EFI 175 Magnum voltage issue

    eng208, Little bit more thinking on this, slow morning :sleeping: If the two work with their inputs paralleled, there is no reason then three in parallel won't work either. (the computer simulations say both will work BTW), There is also plenty of mounting room for 3 in a row. Thoughts...

    92 Mariner EFI 175 Magnum voltage issue

    Cost ya $80 in regs' with a plate to see......if the current is too offset to one reg, the reg's are of course the same as in the kit, so no loss to see, just buy the stator at that point and your still saving money

    92 Mariner EFI 175 Magnum voltage issue

    DON'T spend that much.......geeesh. These are spot on "line and load regulation" (spec'd as good or better than OEM, better IME), been running same ones for years now, no problems, run three batteries......... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...2AEKKX8E6W98JK Don't be baffled by the...

    Driveshaft to Crankshaft Spline Wear

    Manual says to replace with "excessive wear", no real spec's/tolerances given otherwise...........I guess I don't see this as "excessive" yet but, looking for experience with where that is.........0.001"? 0.01"? Anyone have a spec? This is measuring at 0.014"

    Kicker Wiring Question

    Agreed and of course, different strokes apply here (thought this thread died? Hmmmm).....With that said, I'm currently running three Batts with a ProMariner as wired below............While extended trolling (Kokanee mainly), I'll typically use four electric DR's (full/intermittent time [depends...

    Older Honda 9.9 oil light cuts out with throttle

    Hmmm, well few low cost ways to go about it suppose......... Could determine first if it's a faulty light and/or associated wiring and/or supply voltage and/or pressure switch. Check wiring first of course, bullet connectors abound in those Honda's The light bulb (to work) gets its voltage...

    Talking about Solid State Drives (SSD)

    No doubt MT.......Fast is an understatement!! Mine, when bought was a bit more and 480G is sorta small still. So when I built this machine, I ran several SSD's (C and D[backup OS to boot to)] ) and a HDD (E). My main SSD (C, the 480G) is mainly for my OS, Acad etc (makes sys backup's easier...
