    Mike'sXS New Special gas cap-1981 will not latch

    I had a problem with using a cap from my 650 tank on a 750 tank. They apparently had the same p/n but the bar thats welded to the tank was welded in a dif location. I wound up having to drill out the spot weld and relocate the hinge on the tank. Just an idea of what might be wrong.

    Needed wire diagram For Mikes XS solid state rectifier regulator

    Do exactly what this says and you will have no problems. If you plan on reusing the factory connector you might have to move some of the wires around on the connector.
