Hey Guys...
I have issue with Charging Battery (new Gel type 5Ma) Seems the best I can get is 11.4-8 VDC, until 4500 RPM then I get 12.4VDC. Same with or without Battery connected. Issue is bike is used for city rides, has Electric Start (new coil and starter too) so not to many stops and have to use "Old Faithful...(Kick Starter)"
I have spare (complete stator and coils) Ignition coil is OK. Charging/Lighting coil is Smoked! My stupidity... left yellow connected in harness to ACV when changing to total DCV for all components. Actually couldn't find it ... Got sidetracked by Cat and ...Smoked!
See Picture... You can also see room left on coil to add wire...
Now... All 12VAC goes only to R/R, So Stator coil only needs to consentrate on the issue of "Charging".
Can I rewrap Coil as is done in Suzuki 650? 3 coils all connected at one end (common point) and the other 3 ends going to new 7 wire R/R? (Yellow leads) Then connecting 1 of the 2 red (+) wires to original red wire. The other 1 going to Red (power feed) @ Starter relay. Then the remaining 2 Ground wires 1 to common harness ground wire lead and the other to Battery frame ground Connection.
??? Will it work?
Originally coil is wrapped as 2.
Lighting coil is from
earth to
yellow lead (40.5' of 20ga wire)
Charging coil is from
Yellow lead to
White/Red stripe lead (23' of 20ga wire)
I have plenty of room on coil frame to add (I did already to check...Insure I was correct. Agin see picture) additional wire I was able to safly add 75' and still clear magnetic wheel and base plate (1/4'3/8" clearance)
So if I wrap 3 coils and connect as 650 Suzuki does... (Can't seem to be able to add a second picture here, I will add a post explaining...
Question
1. can I wrap as layered as original was done here?
or
2. do I need to wrap side/by/side ? (Example: XX|XX|XX) I have room to do either.
Thus making all 3 coils 46.6'
Now last question I know to use 7 wire R/R. But is common connection on coils... Grounded? or is it floated?
This point will make a difference in how I start wrap!
Help Please!!
