2004 90HP 2 stroke 75 hours burnt ELE.

[samsr1]

I have a 2004 90hp 2stroke. The yellow leads from the voltage regulator burnt at the connectors where they are all tied together with a zip tie. and the 2 yellow leads burnt together that run up under the flywheel, I think they are the leads to the stator. The boat was running fine only the tac and volt gauges were not working, I was hoping it was a lose wire I could fix when I got back. Any Idea why this happened be for I put in new parts? Thanks for you help Samsr1

Need to test voltage regulator, probably bad. Check all battery cables and connections are clean and tight, check engine grounds, test battery.
