You're amazing thank you! Just ordered a handful, should make the bike behave better. Will also be putting in some basic baffles

Oh nice! I will check that video out when I get home, thanks! Just an update: richnened the needle by 1 spot, and adjusted air screws...

I just went from 27.5 (stock) to 30 due to huge airflow increases, would you really go below the stock pilot size? Not trying to be an...

Yes! I forgot thr exact measurements as I did it weeks ago, but I set them to the standard height against the gasket surface with the...

My exhaust is 1.5in as shown

Got it, thanks! As of right now I also am cleaning spark plugs off with QD electronic cleaner and a brass brush, works awesome. I fouled...

Exactly, I believe it runs good enough currently to warm it up for a good few miles then see how it reacts, the idle might just be rich...

Plugs looked pretty black, evenly on both sides. I just upped the pilot jets from 27.5 to 30 on both sides since its such a free flowing...

Sorry I typed everything in one big paragraph so its hard to pick out, but exhaust is straight pipe 1.5in tubes, ending right around the...

Hey all, I've been building a 79 xs chopper for the last few months, and finally took it for a ride around the block tonight. I noticed...

Here is a very basic drawing of my wiring. Mike's reg/rect unit with 3 white wires, black wire and green wire in 1 connector going to...

Yes mine looks like this, but brown only goes to switched power into the regulator, not back to rotors. Ground on one brush with black...

This is the basics, juat a simple setup for wiring. But power from battery at 12 volts goes into regulator unit, and coming put of the...

Just to follow up on this, I got a replacement regulator/rectifier from Mike's after fighting about it with them for a bit. Was cheaper...

Got it thanks! I'll take another look at that. I did a few more tests, and after having a known good stator put on, I can now say the...

Unfortunately, got a new/used stator that was confirmed good, and bike still does not charge more than .02 volts at a time, so still...

So everything looks good up until the stator. Slightly corroded where it enters the windings, and if I hold test leads to the wires and...

So im seeing that each white wire ohm to each other is 1 ohm, but to ground each is about 1-1.5 mega ohm. Which tells me that the stator...

So when supplying 12v to the positive brush, im actually seeing between 5.5-6ACV on each wire constantly. Same with the connector...

Apologies, let's try that again. Should be here. White wires connect to white on rectifier, black to ground and stator ground, green is...

Here's a picture of the stator with the cover off, as well as the unplugged connector coming from it. I just tested the rectifier this...

Hello all! Im currently building a chopper from a frame/engine I picked up a few months back, and its going great. Its a 1979. Bike runs...
