I haven't tried anything since the first day I created the post. I'm not here to get into an Internet arguement, I'm here to get my bike running. I appreciate your input. As I stated the bike isn't running yet, I'm trying to get that going. I think the one may have either failed or was just a...

I get hot enough to even burn my finger but there's no way an engineer would let there being a product on the darn thing that would cause a part to fail by accidentally leaving the key on. People complain more of a dying battery than a fried cool over leaving the key on. I've started up a ticket...

I get don't leave the key on but I can imagine that it was never intended to sell a product that can overheat and be destroyed by leaving the key in the on position. Something must not be right... The bike was previously laid on its side for 15 years so I'm trying to get a non-runner running, so...

I actually had the tank off and on the seat. The right (inner cylinder) coil was getting considerably hotter than the left. Think the resistance plugs could be a part of it? The coils are cb750/900 coils so that they have replaceable plug wires. More resistance=more heat.

My idea was a weak ground could do something similar. I'll go and double check everything now.

Hey guys! With summer here, I'm really getting excited to get this bike running, but I seem to be at a stalemate. I've been working on this bike for a bit now and making leaps and bounds. Just yesterday I was able to kick it over for the first time(s) and amazingly it started and ran for about...

Thank you, Sonreir! I followed a bit of your posts on a DIY ignition so I knew you had the knowledge. Well I guess that sets me back another week or so.

I still haven't been given an answer to what the white wire is used for or why its necessary.

Well I decided not to give up on this r/r and move on! I came across this link a couple weeks ago while trying to search for what the white wire is for. I still have no clue, but it seems unnecessary for moving forward. Check it out, I'll let you guys know the results...

Well looks like I'm ordering a new r/r...

Well then shit. What does it go to there?

Bump... Seriously guys I just need to know what the white wire is coming out of the alternator...

Hey guy! I'm working on a 73' CB350 four and I love the thing even though it doesn't even run... (yet). I'm updating all the electronics and have a new universal regulator/rectifier but I'm unsure of what the white wire does coming out of the generator. Can anyone check this over and see if it...

Well new updates. Working hard to try to get this thing running. I've cleaned and line the tank, rebuilt the petcock. Swapped the coils, new points and condensers are in. Moving a lot of stuff around. The newest tray is decent, I've still got more changes but it's nice just having something...

Alright you guys, I need some more help. I'm putting in a universal regulator/rectifier and I'm confused on what to do with the white wire that was on the old regulator. The three yellow are pretty obvious, as is the ground and positive output... Is that just now null and void because it only...
