    https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/bayarea/news/article/Rescue-planned-for-manatee-in-Trinity-Bay-5915077.php There have been several manatees over the years that somehow made it to the Houston area....the first was 27 years ago when a manatee swam up the Houston Ship Channel and was hanging...

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    Yes, one of these......good luck with your test. If you have a tach and it starts reading wrong after installing the VR, try switching the two leads that go to the stator....yellow wires on mine.....shouldn't make any difference but sometimes it does.

    " i have rebuilt the carburetors and cleaned the fuel pump" Cleaned the fuel pump? Did you check/replace the pump diaphragm?

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    " I might just keep and rectifier on board in case." Good idea....not hard to change out if needed. Added one to mine several years ago....no problems yet. Lots of parts could fail and leave you adrift....so....your motor, your decision. CDI makes good stuff....would follow their directions...

    1991 Force 90hp starting problem

    Take a look at the stickies at the top of this forum.....Force and Chrysler FAQ....there is info on T & T troubleshooting tips. Helps to isolate where the problem is.....lots of times it's the check valves in the valve body that cause a leak down problem. FYI

    1994 Force 120 HP Ser. # 0E089004

    " That black wire runs over to a separate kill switch and wasn't hooked up. " Good job kbh.....looks like you figured it out. In this case, it will be a good thing if your motor quits running! lol

    1994 Force 120 HP Ser. # 0E089004

    Looking at the diagram....the #1 wire coming out of the ignition switch is a black/yellow wire.....looks like it runs to a connector or something then turns into a single black wire that goes to the switch box....third position down from the top on the right side. It shows a ground wire for the...

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    "Simplicity" is good....one of the downsides of adding a VR is they can fail without warning....leaving you adrift.

    1998 Johnson 90HP (J90TSLECM) voltage too high!!!

    All a rectifier does is convert AC to DC current.....so there is nothing wrong with them.....you want to lower the high voltage.....so try the voltage regulator/rectifier and see if there's a difference. IF you have 16 volts at idle it is probably higher at higher rpms. On my engine it spiked...
