My name is Andrew, I am a new poster but longtime reader.
I have a problem with my rectifier wire. The ground that plugs into the rectifier gets so hot it burnt through the wiring harness. Harness is new from mikes, the wire is a smaller gauge.
Anyway the bike won’t charge but I’m getting 14.5 volts from the power wire on the rectifier. Battery is good, holding 12.6 volts, rotor slip rings are at 5.5 ohms, stator tests out, not sure how to test the regulator, but the bike passes the slap test. The rectifier also tests out good. I’m at a loss, and I need some direction. The bike I’m working on is a 75, but I figured I’d show three of a kind just to get some interest.
