TESTING PROCEDURE
NOTE:
First, ensure that battery is in good condi-
tion prior to performing the following tests.
Rectifier/Regulator
STATIC TEST: CONTINUITY
Due to internal circuitry, there is no static test avail-
able.
DYNAMIC TEST
Current Test
Carburetor-Equipped Engines and 947 DI
Engines
Proceed as follows:
– Start engine.
– Lay an inductive ammeter on positive cable of
battery.
– Bring engine to approximately 6000 RPM.
Current reading should be approximately 4 am-
peres for the
717 engine
and 5 amperes for the
947
DI and 4-TEC engines
. If not, check magneto out-
put prior to concluding that rectifier is faulty.
787 RFI Engines
Proceed as follows:
Remove the 20 A fuse from the holder with the
RED wire coming from the connector.
1. RED wire
– Connect an ammeter across the fuse holder.
– Start engine.
– Bring engine to approximately 6000 RPM.
– Note the reading. This is the current supplied by
the regulator.
– Reinstall fuse.
– Remove the 20 A fuse from the holder with the
RED/PURPLE wire coming from the connector.
1. Fuse holder
– Connect an ammeter across the fuse holder.
– Start engine.
– Bring engine to approximately 6000 RPM.
– Note the reading. This is the current actually
consumed.
– Reinstall fuse.
– Substract the consumed current from the regu-
lator current. This gives the actual charging cur-
rent. It should be within 3 - 4 A.
If charging current is below specification, check
magneto output. If the magneto output is good,
try another rectifier/regulator. Recheck charging
current. If still out of specification, the fuel pump
or the MPEM current draw is too high.
If charging current exceeds specification, replace
the rectifier/regulator.
