Well I went and bought the little $3 recifier from radio shack and got it installed and its charging... kinda... barely 13v at about 3k but hey I can ride it now. I was showing around 29 vac at idle and 50 something revving it up. So I think I'm alright for a little while. I found a simplified...

Well not sure what was going on but now i'm showing ac voltage out of the stator. disconnected the rectifier and its FRIED! ground wires completely melted looks like its been that way for a long time. and disconnected I have continuity from ground(green) to the pink and yellow wires in the...

I've been fighting this charging system for the last couple days and gotten nowhere. i went through a fault finder diagnostic from electro-something and its basically telling me i need to go through all the wiring. because i have NO voltage at all coming out of the stator. pulled it out every...

Sorry not the brushes, I cleaned and scuffed the magnet connection surface whatever its called. I got it back in started it and I have no voltage whatsoever from the block connector at most it was .07 v ac between the leads and no difference with rpm increase. And i checked all the wiring and...

yeah weird right NO voltage whatsoever coming out of the stator. pulled it out every thing looks fine wasn't grounding out anywhere. checked the continuity and was reading between .9 and 1.3 ohms between all 3. So I cleaned it and scuffed up the brushes and put it back together and still...

Well as soon as I can figure out the not charging situation. Probably just swap out the tank for an early honda dream, hodaka or triumph. can't decide yet. then throw some knobbys on it and ride it. Any idea why this thing won't charge? I'm not getting ANY voltage out of the stator when its...

Hello. My names Jamie, I own a small metal fab shop in northern utah specializing in Jeeps and offroad equip. but I recently bought a 75 CL360 for a little barhopper project for myself. It sat outside behind a building for 15-20 years. I've had it almost 2 weeks now and since i bought it I have...

I recently picked up a '75 cl360 and am having charging problems. wondering if anyone out there knows the best way to test the stator? I have it out right now and cannot find anything on what kind of ohm reading i should be getting. And I wasn't showing any voltage output when it was in and...
