My thought ... , test stator to assure sutible AC voltage .., install 3 wire rect. / reg. And send 1 wire with DC voltage to battery ... . Take 1 wire from battery ,/ fused to ignition . Then 1 fused wire to lights .., KISS , method ..., wire it simple .. , Quit trying to figure out that screwy mess ...., JMO ....,

Yeah, the dual-outlet of that regulator just doesn't make sense.

I haven't ridden it around. It's very disassembled at the moment. I bench tested the new stator and it was fine. I tested it for AC output and at idle it was 30+VAC. I was not able to rev it up because of the way it was sitting on my lift at the time. But 30+VAC at a high idle should be fine. The wiring is full factory and I have no issue with it's functionality as far as lights, ign, etc. Just the fact the battery is not getting charged. I'll follow up when the new R/R gets here.

Yeah, sounds like that's last part needed.

I hope so but even when it was overcharging and about to melt the wiring harness and blowing out the headlights, I still was not getting a charge at the battery. It's possessed.

I hear you Sir ;

I get a lot of oddball electrical jobs after everyone else has given up .

I can't wait to learn what the problem was this job .

Just to put a pin in this one. After finally getting a good rectifier/regulator I still wasn't getting a good charge to the battery. What it ended up being was the cheap connectors between the stator to the R/R and the connector between the R/R and the wires leading from it. After opening and closing them several times I suppose they just started to have a lot of resistance which was bleeding off the current by becoming massive heat. To the point of the wires and connectors getting too hot to touch. I put in larger gauge wires to match the wiring off the stator and the R/R and removed all the connectors and replaced them with bullet connectors on each wire and now the wiring is fine and I'm getting 13+VDC to the battery.

There you go ... Now it's time to ride ....

More like time to give it back to it's owner and hope to never see it again!

Le

More like time to give it back to it's owner and hope to never see it again!

Let us know where it's at ... We'll come get it .....
