Battery Fuse at fuse block

Good question. It was the rectifier/regulator that was toast. The diodes in the rec/reg were damaged, which caused an overcharge at the battery fuse. So the fusebox did it’s job protecting the battery and electrical system. Kudos to Yamaha! I’ve been able to fire it up and run at low speed or idle all day and not kill the engine.

Right on… that is extremely rare that the diodes blew closed. I had asked a friend of mine about the reg / rect and the diodes and he had said it was a very rare event that the diodes blow closed. It is interesting that the PMG permanent magnet generator has that kind of capacity. Who knew?

Thanks for following up on your post and keeping everyone informed, especially closing the loop at the end.

No problem. It was the least I could do as payment of my sincere gratefullness towards this community. And now the fun awaits.
