i think i have found the full thread about Type B Regulator that Jim posted.
Is as simple as using the diagram to build the Reg/Rec but instead of switching ground (Green Brushed Ground) you switch the Power to the winding if you get my drift.
I understand that if you use the The type A Reg/Rec on a points engine you have to use the Nylon screw to isolate that ground.
I want to build a Reg/Rec with a type B Regulator as my bike HAD points fittedas a stock bike and is clearly the Type B older stator, in saying that I fitted a Pamco electronic Ignition and a separate Pamco electronic advance..
Now after reading most of these threads I have been using a after market Reg/Rec purchased from Fleebay without using a Nylon screw to isolate the ground to the rotor brushes ....which rotates ( SKUll 650).... In saying that I can't be sure that the Fleebay Reg/Rec is the right or wrong device for my charging system but what I can say is that i cooked a battery a few years ago and in the 6 to 7 years i have had the XS650 I have had 4 batteries and this indicates there is a problem to me.
I know i have been asking lots of questions some of them stupid and probably pissed off some of you which would explain some the comments I have received but as I stated I really want to learn about this stuff and get my head round all this so I can take care of my XS and I really do appreciate your advise and wisdom. But I for one will not give up until i complete the task at hand.
All the best Alex
