I am trying to chase some demons possibly in my motor. I have a 2001 Johnson 115. Model is j115plsie. Reading through the technical manuals it says the charging system should be outputting 14.1 volts. I am not able to get anywhere past 12.7 to 12.8. I have recently replaced the battery and have a CDI stator and rectifier. I have been doing some at home testing and I'm getting around 36 volts AC at the stator output. On the rectifier when the red wire is disconnected from the solenoid I was getting around 50 volts DC when it is connected to the solenoid it drops down to 12.7 to12.8. I'm not able to get the charging system to stabilize at 14.1 like the manual says. The tachometer works as it should so just wanting to ask the group if it's possible that either the stator is not outputting enough voltage or is the rectifier not converting enough voltage I'm just kind of at a loss right now. When fishing on the lake the battery voltage drops to around 12.3 after running the electronics for a while but when I start up and take it to wide open throttle 12.8 is about the max that I'm able to get. I did attempt an amperage test on the rectifier but since my multimeter is a 10 Amp Max I ended up blowing the fuse so I know it's putting out at least that much. It just has me wondering if there could be a problem with the rectifier since everything checks out as far as testing the diodes but it's not putting out the voltage required when it's connected to the battery
