So i have been having this same issue. I have gone through 3 stators with Hugh until recently finding a local shop who rewires stators. I just got a call from Mike with Rickys stators in San Diego and he told me the stators I have been getting from Hugh are made in China. From what I have...

waiting on a response from Hughs Handbuilt. Ill let you know what happens.

The output from the PMA is more than the output of the stock charging system, and it charges at idel unlike the stock. Obviously the system failing makes it not worth keeping

All the parts have come from Hugh. the first one was faulty I believe. and the second one may have gotten shorted by a bad ground. Hugh helped me trouble shoot and by the 3rd one I had a complete working charging system. Like everyone says, it was much better than the stock system. I rode...

I have contacted him. Im sure with the holidays he may be backed up. This unfortunately is my 3rd PMA. Im thinking there's now way this one went out on me. I can't have that bad of luck. I was hoping maybe someone on here has had a similar problem and could tell me what to look for. Im...

A little help, So this is a reoccurring issue I have had on my 82 xs650. I thought the problem was fixed but recently my charging system went out. I have about 1000 miles on the PMA and when the system went out i decided to replace the voltage reg (didnt know how to test it). So after...

It sounds like I have the same problem. Im hoping its a wire problem. Ill be going through the wires tomorrow. You didn't figure out what wire was a bad connection?

Need a little guidance here. Im not getting a charge. Here is some info on my setup: Hughs rephased 277 engine, Pamcopete ignition, Dual coil green monsters, PMA kit from Hugh, running a battery So after the engine rebuild i discovered my charging system was shitty like most...

Did you get it off the Bike yet? I'm looking to do this tomorrow. I found this vid online. Might help: I heard sometimes getting it off the frame requires a rubber hammer and some muscle.

When you say at overlap you mean the valves are open I guess? When the left piston is at TDC there is slack on the intake and exhaust valves for the left side. This is where I used a feeler gauge to adjust the valves. Did the same for the left. Rotated the crank twice until the right side...

Well I used a stick to locate TDC on the left cyclinder, which is what Hugh said to do. The instructions say to set the timing according to OEM. Cylinder 1 at TDC. So I got the left side to TDC and made a new mark on the PMA alt rotor.
