Hi Guys,
New to the forum, not new to the struggle.
I have what I think is a 75AED from the 80s, and when it runs, it runs strong. The bastard however has an intermittent electric fault that I can't find, sparks well one day and the next no fire from anywhere, changed out the CDI-same result, inspected the coils all in good nic. Now I am starting to wonder about the regulator rectifier (read somewhere that if this starts with niggles the tacho is the first thing to stop working, mine has never worked).
Can I replace the current unit with a aftermarket one, how are they sized? How can I confirm that it is indeed that MF that is causing me all the grief?
This has been going on for 5 years on and off. I don't get to use the boat frequently but it is reaching a point now that I am considering setting something on fire.
Thanks.
