    The scenario is this ;
    1-my battery is stone dead ,
    2-I can pull start the outboard to get it running
    3-the charging system is not faulty
    now with the motor turning at the higher RPMS , will the generator charge? or does there need to be some residual charge left in the battery to excite and or operate the generator/ regulator system?
