I recently blew a Pamco ignition on my bike. I suspected the reason was the cheap reg/rec that comes with the PMA kit. Pete replaced my ignition under warranty no questions asked. Great guy and great product. I'll buy no other.
My question is how would you check the field coils on the PMA windings? Can I do it through the yellow wires and ground without taking off the rotor? Checking out the new ignition on a straight 12 volts and putting a meter on my charging system showed 36 volts going to the capacitor. After shutting down, the capacitor held 13.5 volts and discharged when I turned on the lights. So I'm pretty sure my capacitor is good. Got a new used reg/rec wired and ready to install, I just want to make sure the PMA field windings are good before I proceed.
Thanks in advance of any help.
