single phase reg/rect replacement

[hmmmnz]

does any one know where i can get a reg/rect as a replacement for my seperate bridge rectifier and zenar diode regulator,
its for a cb250g5
the wattage output of the alternator is 130w @ 5000rpm

or does any one know of any bikes that run a single phase alternator with a single unit reg/rect that i can look out for on ebay

cheers

Just use a 3-phase one and only connect one of the yellows.

A superdream one would seem to fit the bill.

Or try www.davidsilverspares.co.uk they sometimes have old bits like that in stock and are sometimes pretty cheap.

I for one am shocked to hear there is still a G5 out there in something approaching running order.

Well a superdream one has a red wire which you connect to the battery positive, a green one you connect to earth and a white on black one you connect to somewhere in the loom carrying battery voltage when the ignition is on (eg back brakelight switch) or if you're feeling lazy, loop it back to the red wire (not as good but still functional).

There are three yellows. If you have a single phase, connect it to one of them and blank off the other two.

you may be able to replace it with a bridge rectifer from maplin or farnell

it will be a lot cheaper too
look for a 15A one giving you a good safety margin on the wattage

Aye. Having looked at your wiring diagram on your other post, it actually has a bridge rectifier anyway, should be pretty robust.

If it's the same as the one off my old CB125 was (same year as the 250G5, 15mph faster ), it's just a cluster of diodes right? You'd be able to replace all four for a couple of quid if it went tits-up.

The 125 was a twin. They were well regarded wee bikes. I ran mine for a year before both carbs and most of thewiring system dissolved into a pile of white powdery terminal obsolescence.
