October 1, 201411 yr Author Did you get it fixed? just got a rectifier and coil this evening so at the weekend going to swap out and test at the weekend and will report back
October 1, 201411 yr You didn't mention making sure the bike is full of coolant. If she is, and the fan is spinning correctly, the bike should not overheat. Also make sure you shake up the gas when you add premixed, I made the mistake once of just pouring it in the can and the mixture was off.
October 3, 201411 yr Author Not good news put new rectifier on started bike and it blew it to bits getting 14v ac before the rectifier any clue what else to check ? Edited October 3, 201411 yr by blade7
October 5, 201411 yr What are you measuring the voltage with? A digital or analogue multimeter will not give a correct reading on ac. In one of my previous posts I suggested the voltage regulator is probably faulty. the fault could be internal or it may not be earthed properly. A faulty regulator could result in your rectifier blowing.
October 5, 201411 yr Recheck your wiring. It sounds like the fan wiring may be shorting to ground. 14 volts AC before the rectifier sounds right.
October 12, 201411 yr Author Right bought a flywheel puller i checked the coils for damage and resistance checked the stator loom all good re done all the earth connections as some of the wires where down few strands install a bridge rectifier like this took it for blast round the block and the rectifier what that big sliver thing ? and the extra resistor in there for ? think my fault must be with the transval 415 voltage regulator just order a new one as suggested but under load getting a steady 5v dc from digital meter to the fan Edited October 12, 201411 yr by blade7
October 15, 201411 yr There appears to be some missing text in the most recent post. Also, can't see the picture you refer to. ????
