    The 2 diagrams that I e-mailed to you show the procedure to check both of them

    Re: New Battery Losing Charge

    ok - resistance = voltage. i get it.

    i did follow those procedures and want to know what difference between a large drop and a small drop - they procedures refer to...?

    Re: New Battery Losing Charge

    Are you refering to checking the stator coil in the flywheel or checking the rectifier?

    rectifier........................

    Re: New Battery Losing Charge

    you are checking the diodes in the rectifier
    They should let current flow in one direction but not in the other
    Multimeter should be on high ohms setting, and you will get a high reading between 2 wires and if you reverse the test leads you will get a low reading if the diodes are ok

    What were the results of your testing of the rectifier?

    Does the taco work matey??
    That's a sign that the rectifier/regulator is on the fritz.
    Just a sign though mind you and no way conclusive.

    Finga,

    How to tell if tacho is not workign properly?

    I will provide results from rectifier diodes wihtin next 15 mins.

    Results:

    + -
    Yellow/Grey 0.048 0.004
    Yellow 0.015 0.030
    Red 0.033 0.030
    Red + Yellow/grey 0.026 0.003

    Engine ground--- Yellow/Grey lead 0.048 0.004
    Engine Ground --- Yellow Lead 0.030 0.015
    Red Lead---Yellow/Grey Lead 0.026 0.003
    Red ---Yellow ????????????????
    Is this your result. Something not right with Red and Yellow leads

    What scale where you using for the high ohms test?

    Re: New Battery Losing Charge

    OK boys, those first readings were crap - please ignore.

    Here is my next set (DC setting and mV) :

    Yellow/grey 5.7 -0.4
    Yellow 2.6 -0.3
    Red 6.9 -0.4
    Red & yellow/grey 1.0 -1.4
    Red & Yellow 3.0 -1.1

    Finga - Needle moves on tacho.

    THoughts?
