Gen charging but battery still going dead??
Cant figure it out? My battery slowly dies while driving. 1990 Marathon, 3pg 2-stroke. Jacked up and free wheeling starter/generator is putting 15-16 volts to the battery. It can sit with no discharge but while driving will drain to the point of cant turn over in about 2-3 hours. I changed the voltage regulator when it started (about a year ago haha) but no help.
I am probably grasping at straws but when I come to a stop sometimes it feels like the starter is still turning while the motor is running but I don't know how to check that (or if it is even possible) and cant find any threads that describe the same issue?? Any Help would be MUCH appreciated! Thx Russ |

It had better be still turning. Your starter is your generator too.
I think it's time to change the battery. Take it to a parts store, and have them load test it. |

Battery is +/- 18 months old but will check it out and try the spare voltage regulator I have to see if I get a better charge range. Thx
Any other suggestions, please bring em on. |
