[QUOTE="John Wasmuth, post: 241568, member: 6810"] Thanks. JM you might be correct but I am going to need a better voltage meter than the one I have in order to check it. There have been many modifications since this motor was introduced in 1987, along with the DT5 and DT8, the lighting coil was only standard on the DT6 and DT8 series of motors but could be retro fitted on the DT5 series with a bit of work. This rectifier is about 1.5 inches wide x 1.5 inches long by 1.5 inches tall and the back of it is sealed with some type of epoxy and there are cooling fins on the top. I have read that the later kits sold for this motor were in fact rectifier/regulators but its difficult to tell except that I read that the ones with yellow/red, yellow, white, and black wires are the rectifier/regulator. Either way I need to use a better volt meter to see if the volts go up as the RPMS increase. If they dont then I wont worry so much about frying the batteries. Now I have to build a switch panel/box to hook everything up to and make it look presentable. I dont think the fish will mind but I might have to post a picture of it some day and wouldnt wanta leave people going.... :shock: LOL! [/QUOTE]
