Elite new big end / conrod
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 8:27 pm
Completed engine rebuild after big end failure.
Good news: started second kick and had successful 20 mile ride. Sounds good.
Bad news: Noticed Electrix World charge warning light did not light up when turning on ign. bulb is OK and connected as per Electrix World diagram. It worked before strip down.On further investigation found battery is not being charged.
First I would like to check AC output from alternator. Two yellow wire system. Do I disconnect yellow wires from regulator, set multimeter to AC voltage minimum on my meter is 200v, start engine then connect probes to two yellow wires. If this is correct what reading should I get please.
If this proves to be correct I will need to check regulator, although I did nothing to this and was working before engine stripped.
It could of course be a simple break in a wire somewhere but would like to check alternator output before going further.
Ign alternator coils working fine with good spark
