Could be....Regulator got damaged with TCI (welding)? Open circuit inside between green and black?

I didn’t run it like that for any longer than 10-15 seconds to see voltage on my batteryIf you jumpered green to ground, you bypassed the regulator.... makes the rotor work overtime. Don't run for extended periods like that, you'll likely fry something.... like the rotor.
Alrighty y’all. Swapped the polarity and it still wouldn’t idle. Tinkered with the idle screw a bunch and after a while I somehow got it to idle. It’s running real rough, not running up rpm’s smoothly and spewing black smoke out the exhaust while backfiring. Here’s a video of it idling and trying to run. I took advantage of it finally idling and grabbed my timing light and got this video of the timing at idle. I had trouble recording the light while revving, the lines moved counterclockwise as I revved for the most part. At about 1.5-1.7k rpm’s it seemed to move clockwise for a second before moving counter clockwise
Gotcha! I also edited the post to include the ignition timingYes Sir now we are getting somewhere I cant se the timing either
But here it comes a 5 th time
My first assumption is ---> You dont appear to be charging ..we have the neutral light being dim ..not changing .. intensity .. when trying to rev
The bike Idles more or less OK .but since you dont have a solid power in and ground
When you throttle up the mixture gets richer and the tiny weak spark cant do it and it splutters and smokes.
Hook up a Voltmeter across the battery and report what you get when running
