Hi guys,
i'm losing out on valuable riding time and am hoping to get this figured out so I can get going again. i started with misfiring and after messing with the carbs i started testing the electrical and found that the battery voltage won't increase with RPM, staying at 12.4. I made some ground today but it's not clear to me what's wrong. I'm suspecting the rec/reg is gone bad but i just installed it last year and don't want to admit that right now..
- Based off of memory and i'll double check tonight, i am getting 12.4 from the battery, 12 at the brown into regulator, and 10.5 into the +ve brush with the key on.
- Jumping the green to battery +ve while running doesn't show any voltage changes with RPM increase either though.
- stator windings seem intact with at .4-.5 ohms (.8 incl. meter)
have I screwed myself by not using the proper screws in the brush holder? I still have the stock brush holder after installing the SS Rec/Reg. Why won't i get any charge with the regulator bypass?
Thanks for the help.
