    Weird fuel pump problem?!?

    Should I add a 5 ohm 3 watt resistor or a 12V diode in between the two light wires? Would that allow the fuel pump to get power?

    Weird fuel pump problem?!?

    Ok, here is my problem. I changed my gauge bulbs with LED's from superbrightled.com. All of a sudden, my fuel pump would not prime the carbs when I turned the key. I tested all of the LED's and they worked fine. I also put them in different sockets and had the same problem. I took out the fuel...

    High intensity LED gauge lights

    I have been wanting to do this to all of my lights, but I want to make my plastic covers not clear totally, but foggy clear and use colored LED's. Does anyone know where I can buy replacements or get some made?

    Setting dry float levels on the bench

    You don't have to have the carbs together and on the bike to do the wet level check. Just get a clear tube that fits over the fuel inlet tube on the carb. I use one about 4 ft long. 1. Get two clear tubes and a piece of wood to set the carb on. I use a 1"x1" about a foot long. You need one...

    Setting dry float levels on the bench

    I hate to point this out, but whom ever carbs these are, why is one of your needle valve tubes much lower than the other? Won't this throw off your float level adjustment if it isn't seated correctly or more importantly, if it's loose? Why don't people just do the wet level adjustment instead of...

    Charging Issues.....

    I ended up getting parts from Sean. He sent me a new fly wheel, R/R, and a stator. I already had a new stator, so I didn't try it. I tried the new fly wheel and it charges! I don't know how, but my fly wheel went bad. Anyway, I know you guys were wondering and now you know. It was the fly wheel...

    Another dumb question..... Could the new starter be loading it down??

    Charging Issues.....

    Ok....here is all of the info... I pulled the flywheel and reinstalled it just to make sure. I cleaned the magnets and put them back in and installed the magnet cover. I re-ohmed the stator and it is good. I checked all of the diodes in the R/R and they check good. I rechecked the ground...

    Charging Issues.....

    I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! I just got a chance to troubleshoot her today. All of the diodes check good. Thanks for the help on the diagram. I didn't look at it good enough, but I should have seen that the 4 was the cathode and 5 was the anaode. Thanks again....I'll keep pluging...

    Charging Issues.....

    Ok...thanks for the diagram...but what test points are what? There are 5 wires or test points listed. A, B, C, D, E. Which wire is which letter? There are 3 white wires going to the stator. Looking at the connector with the male pins facing toward me, there are two white wires on the top and...

    Charging Issues.....

    "You need to messure resistance beteween each leg to each led, 3 mesurments." When you say each leg to led....what is led? Did you mean leg to leg? My meter does have a diode checker and I do know how to use it. I just need to know what measurements to make on which pins of the connector...

    Charging Issues.....

    The DMM is in VAC. I checked I with my house voltage and it read 120VAC just fine. Ok...where do I measure the stator resistance? Do i measure between each leg to ground or do I measure between each leg? What is a good resistance indication? I'll look for epoxy that will work. I'll post when...

    Charging Issues.....

    Update..... My battery is fine. My ground is .3 ohms. I have a great quality digital multimeter (DMM) made by Fluke, so there is no low setting. Ok, I took off the cover again and checked the flywheel because I was curoius. Anyway, I found the center magnet cover loose. I took it off and...

    What are the resistance values and between what points do I measure?

    Charging Issues.....

    The other day, I was crusing home on the highway and she just started sputtering and died. I tried to restart it and the battery was dead. I just installed a new stator, my battery is cherry, and my starter is new. Before I take her out, I wanted to make sure everything was working. Anyway, I am...
