I have a fresh, full new build. I'm using the HHB PMA kit. Everything works just fine until things get nice and hot, then the motor will die. Once it dies, I have to wait for the motor to cool a bit and start up with the headlight off. At that point, I can just make it home from a short ride into town.
I have two thoughts. Either my capacitor or my regulator is over heating. Both are under the bike and should be getting plenty of air. The capacitor is in the space where my starter was, the reg/rec is under the swing arm. The last time I ran it, I was feeling things for temp and the reg/rec was smoking hot.
Should it be getting hot enough to burn your skin?
The container that the capacitor is in is vented and the cap is buffered from the side of the container, it gets warm, but not hot....
I'm running the HHB PMA with points and a Sparx capacitor.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
