Re: I guess I got to move flywheel to replace rectifier/reg on '87 Ev 90 HP
I'd think a fair time to do the job would be a couple of hours say $200 by a reputable repairer. Got to be worth considering.
The alternative to do it properly means...
A genuine OMC manual for your motor.
A flywheel puller.
A flywheel strap.
A torque wrench.
Any other tools that you don't already have.
The required sealant.
The time to read the book and gain enough knowledge to complete the job.
I'm not trying to talk you out of doing it just warning you there are some traps along the way.
How do you know your rectifier is bad?
RECTIFIER - New tach stopped working, new Walmart battery went bad in 3 months of just running motor once in a while in driveway. You got another way to test ? I have multi tester and home made DVA which I'm not sure how to interpret. Also wouldn't mind testing STATOR.
I have OMC manual.
I have Harbor Freight electric impact wrench.
Will buy 1 5/16" socket (12 points).
Will try to come up with strap. Some kind of piston stop should work too what I read.
Will loaner tool auto parts store for puller.
Not sure what adhesive you're talking about but got the gasket sealer.
This motor is definitely the school of hard knocks but hopefully I'm learning some things.
