ok i know its been covered and in stickys but i cant make enough sence of it

Do you have to use the trail tech regulator? i have a 4 pin regulator rectifier that should convert the AC adequatley

Ive just added a starter to my 06 250ec and works perfect but its a total loss system so when the battery is dead its dead, it was only for 1 ride as i ran out of time


So i have the yellow wire and white wire out of the generator, i only get 6 volts ac out of them. where do i go from here. I plugged them up to the regulator as i though but no joy.

Is that the correct output from the lighting stator?

Engine at idle, the yellow or white should be both putting out in excess of 14+ volts without the regulator hooked up.

Is your meter set to AC? Even with the reg in the loop, use the AC setting.

You should only use the yellow or white, but not both.
 
checked it, sure enough one coil had become seperated. Found the wires and seperated them, soldered and got continuity now. Also took the time to remove the earth. Should have a good system that suits my starter mod now. Heaps of reading a research, hope it works
 
ok so i removed the earth and repaired the broken wire. now i have 50 volts AC and 22 volts DC. i cant bloody win, what the hell is going on!!!! please someone help
 
that is straight out of the reg rec, will the battery cause a buffer. ive got no lights ect, pureley to charge my battery for my electric boot
 
22v will boil the battery.
I'd find another regulator from a wrecker with same amount of wires and bodge it on.
 
ok, got 2 cheap chineese regulators now and they both give out 22 volts when revving so i gave up on that idea. Got a standard 4 wire regulator rectifier and wired it up, produces 8 - 9 volts on idle and 1 volt when revving a little, whats going on ???????????????????????
 
Mine put out 16+ volts ac when there is nothing electrical turned on. As soon I turn the headlight on I get a solid 12.7 volts ac even in the high rpm range.
 
you will have the zennar diode setup grounding the excess ac voltage to earth. I need to convert to DC and regulate, should be simple but its being a pain in the arse.

I had an exorcism performed by the local preist so should be any poltergeists anymore
 
Damn. Knew I'd spelt that wrong. You don't say your location, if you were chch I'd suggest getting that Wizard bloke to perform it if he's still about.

I'm sure Tim Shadbolt could stand in..

Ohh ohh how about Colin Craig?

(Sorry for in jokes internationals).
 
Thats exactly what ive got now but just could seem to get a proper DV volts out of it.

Bitten the bullet and bought a trail tech RR now. Im sure there is no difference between that an a conventional 4 wire unit except the price.
 
ok so bit the bullet and bought a trail tech regrec at much expense. Put it on and i get about .5 volts, goes up to about 6 volts when the idle is really low like about to stall.

Any suggestions before i burn it

Could the stator be breaking down under load?

Colin Craig would indecently touch the poltigeist & then terminate its employment for non-performance.
 
Specifications from the GG workshop manual:
Yellow to Earth 0.67 ohms +/- 20% @ 20*C
White to Yellow 0.16 ohms +/- 20% @ 20*C

Use White and Lifted Ground Point to power your reg/rectifier. Extreme low voltage like you are getting would suggest a corroded winding that doesn't pass enough current. Or possibly a bad connection somewhere in your wiring.
 
Found out my stator was playing up and it looked pretty burnt, upon unwinding i found many dodgy areas.

So the story continues............

I got the correct wire from the local motor rewinding guys, rewound the coils with the same number of turns 70 per coil and a total of 7 coils. i started at the first coil and wound them all in series so just 1 wire in and 1 wire out. Tested resistance to 1 ohm and no earth leakage so i Araldited it all up, put it on and fired it up. Got 2.5 volts AC

What did i do wrong!!!!!!!
