dirtydownunder Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 check all the wiring and grounds, and if the regulator has a good ground. get it running and check the voltage also check the lighting circuit for resistance from the stator. maybe pull the globes out and keep putting one back till you blow them, then check that circuit. there should be a blue wire going to the regulator, that blue wire changes into yellow. and the yellow is for the lights.

dirtydownunder Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 you should have 12v with a few rpms and not exceed 12v's, at idle its going to be low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
