I'll lay it out step by step and hopefully someone can tell me if I've missed something. For my 1980 with stock TCI.
Step 1: New fully charged battery.
Step 2: Slap test, nothing, nothing at all. Tried jumping green from rec/reg combo and again nothing on slap test.
Step 3: Bike warm up and brought up to 3000rpm, no charging at battery. Jumped green from regulator to ground, again no change in charging.
Step 4: Voltage on brown wire. Full voltage at positive brush with key on all the way back to key switch.
Step 5: Always had full voltage at brush but I checked again anyways, slap test fail, 3000rpm no charge. I pulled the brushes and tested Ohms between rings (5.1 Ohms, and infinite between rings and engine ground, which I believe is good. Brushes are an acceptable length.
Step 6: Each white wire, while connected, while idling was very very low, between all combinations, between .50-1.98 Ohms. This would indicate something is grounding my stator I believe, so onto step 7!
Step 7: I unplug each white connector, and at each combination I get 0.00 Ohms BUT when I put a lead to each white and a lead to ground, the I get an infinite reading, which I believe I am supposed to get? Also what is the stator lead pigtail I'm supposed to check?
I'm stumped at this point, could someone offer a suggestion?
