Re: 1983 50 hp Johnson Rectifier test results

I’m not finding fault in whatever it was that you did. But start over and do it the right way.

There are 6 diodes in that rectifier. You need to test each and every one of them separately.

1. Ground to yellow #1 and reverse leads. Continuity in one direction only.
Repeat ground to each of the remaining yellow leads.

2. Red to yellow #1. Continuity in one direction only
Repeat red to each of the remaining yellow leads.

That is 12 tests and it needs to pass each and every one.

Forget about additional tests that I have not spelled out here, and forget about the doubling, etc. That only confuses things.
