So i guess my pickup coil wasn't your fix?
OK I been reading your thread and first you are jumping all over and not going threw the steps that guys are telling you.
1. Forget the electric start do that last has nothing to do with bike charging or shutting off
2 Bike will be around 12.5 at idle and when you rev past 2000 rpm should go up to 13 + volts if not you are not charging
3 If motor starts and idles fine and you twist throttle and it dies ITS FUEL
4 Running stock exhaust and stock air box if not carbs need jets
5 pull both plug out of bike check for week spark TCI could be bad
6 What is your plug setup for charging 6 pin Plugs if so you could plug your REG/REC right into the output of alt. and bypass the harness to see if it then charges so you will know if harness is problem.
When I get a bike in like this I use a cheater setup which is a old harness that is only the wires that charge and fire the bike up. This will show if everything works before it goes into the harness. I have had bad grounds on harness that drove me nuts.
Picture shows setup all you need to charge and have spark.
