The stator comes with one half and the regulator comes with the other. Replace both parts and be done with it. What you see is normal for a failed charging system.

 

Not quite correct.
Each of the three Windings are insulated from Ground/Earth.
Setting a Multimeter to continuity (Ohms), and testing each of the Wires (at the connector) to Earth should give no reading (like an open circuit).
All three of mine are showing they're earthed, so the insulation has failed, burnt most likely, like the Connector Terminals.

I'll find out soon enough.

 

Crispy B-B-Q Insulation, and a couple of broken Wires for good measure.

 

It's possible I was misunderstood. You're right that none should be shorted to ground. But they all are wired together, so if one is shorted, then the others will have a path to ground as well. If the winding breaks, but doesn't short, then it's an open and the others will measure properly.

 

Yes, that makes sense.
There are also two ways for them to be wired, Delta, and Wye, not sure how that would affect the results.

 

One more quick question.
My Throttle Stop Adjuster **** is just hanging freely.
I don't see the usual Wire Clip that the plastic Bush clips into, does anyone have a photo of where it should be?

Thanks.

 

Can you post a photo of what yours looks like? Is item #7 what you're talking about?

 

Yes, that's the part.
Idle Speed Adjuster ****.

It's all there, and works as intended, but the supporting Clip is missing.
It's usually just a simple Spring Wire 'Hook'.

 

Got it all together again.
Relocated the Reg/Rec, so the Connectors reached easily (Lead on the replacement was around 100mm shorter than the original).
Got a replacement Stator Unit, rather than rewiring the old one, wasn't worth the effort for the price.

Plugged it all in, switched on, Main Fuse blew!
Checked it all over for anything obvious, put a new fuse in, same again.

Unplugged the Stator and R/R, Fuse fine.
Plugged the Stator back in, still good.
Was just about to plug in the R/R, and noticed this . . .


I swapped the Terminals round in the Plug, and it's working fine.

I've put a few miles on it in the last couple of weeks, and it's all good!

I mounted a 12V PC Fan on top of the R/R, taking it's power from the L/H Tail Light Wire.
It blows down onto the R/R.
Should keep it cool enough.



R/R Unit is bolted to the Undertray.
I bought a length of 5mm Stainless Steel Studding, and cut four lengths, long enough to pass through the Undertray, and end approx 15mm above the top of the Fan.
Nuts and Washers either side of the Undertray secure the Studs.
The Fan Mounting Holes slip over the Studs, and is held by the Nuts and Washers on top.
The Studs were tight enough in the Fan's holes not to need Nuts under it, so it just sits at the right height above the R/R (i.e. not touching it) without any support.

The Fan is just a generic PC Unit I've had laying around for years.
Was just wide enough for the Studs to clear the R/R Unit.

 

Thank goodness for fuses! Much better than melted wires and fires. That's great that you've got it completed. Nice job on the fan. I'm curious if there is any brightness between the L and R tail light bulbs now with the fan taking a little? I can't imagine it's enough to be noticeable. Great job, now time to get some miles on her. Enjoy!
