She doesn’t seem to want to pass the slap test however the rotor measures 5.3 ohms across the rings; infinite resistance when testing each ring for short. Bypassing reg did nothing for charging. Stator passed both Curly’s running test and unplugged connector test. Adequate brush length...

Now that I know it, I can’t believe I ever didn’t lol

Alright some good info for my next approach to the bike

Gotcha gotcha, is a 0.8 voltage drop between battery and the brown wire brush acceptable?

So hands down if the bike fails the slap test that certainly indicates a poor connection with the rotor or regulator right?

THAT WAS THE MISSING LINK sorry for yelling

Okay I see what you mean Jim and I appreciate it. I was confused since that green wire brush screw is threaded into and surrounded by the metal of the stator all around so it seems like a ground exists already.

What do you recommend for replacement god forbid mine is struggling?

Yes I’m working on testing. The bike has weak charge & fails the slap test. The rotor is showing proper resistance. The brown wire hot brush is getting almost full battery voltage with key on…drop of about 0.8 volts from battery to that brush. So moving onto the regulator now. So the regulator...

I’m not sure I understand. Isn’t it grounded already?

Hi, Got off work early and am working on a new XS project, sidecare rig. Can someone demystify how I can accomplish this line from the charging guide? "On the solid state regulator models all you need to do is locate the green wire at the regulator plug and make a jump from it to ground"...

Dead cylinder method yielded roughly 2.5 turns out for each cylinder

Perhaps a very slight shade of tan while holding one up to the light. The threads of the plug showed some dark brown/black

With jetting down the pilot air circuit and going up on the main jets…back from a sunny 1200 mile round trip to the beach with exactly 42 mpg

You guys are miracle workers

https://www.ebay.com/itm/151075831133 Is this a valid main jet for the BS CV carb? On eBay, it says for a RS HSR carburetor but the description fits the bill. Wonder if there is any difference or if that’s just the way it’s listed

135 air jet for the main or pilot circuit? Are both removable?

5twins, I may have been wrong about the needle. I’ve seldom gone this far into a carburetor. It looked non adjustable and I actually used a carb chart you posted to label it as I did above - since I couldn’t actually read the needle But it may be adjustable - I’ll check after work. If it is...

Okay that video was clarifying. And certainly comforting. Strange that seemingly only a change of spark plug type yielded this result

How’s this? That’s probably the best picture I can take right now
