I am really pleased for you! Like all faults, it seems obvious when you discover the cause. I have never come across a case personally where a flywheel has lost all its magnetism to the extent that the alternator output is very low.No doubt it can happen. butI think the significant thing here is that the fly wheel you fitted was larger, and thus there was a bigger air gap between the magnets and the stator core. Whilst this whole thing has been a right arse pain to you, I think you may have learned a few things. You now know the basics of using a multimeter, and the value of logic in fault finding. Incidentally, a test lamp can often be more useful than a multimeter. Years ago my mate had a Bedford van. Sometimes it would stop for no apparent reason. There were no sparks at the plugs. The first test I always did was to use the multimeter to check that there was 12 volts at the distributor . There always was, but no spark at the HT coil. After poking about, it would magically come to life. One day when it stopped, and for no apparent reason, I used a test lamp to check for 12 volts at the distrib. Lamp would not light. Tested again at the distrib using a multimeter, and it showed 12 volts! Careful examination of the relevant wire revealled a corroded bit where it cane through the bulkhead. The wire was very high resistance, but would still pass enough current to show [almost] 12 volts on the meter, but nowhere near enough to feed the ignition system. That is why, for some faults, I still use a test lamp. Welcome back to motorcycling. ____________________ Enjoy yourself, its later than you think |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 7 years, 106 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
