WENT OUT WITH A WHORE……….CAME HOME WITH PRINCESS

I got someone a little more experienced with bikes to give me hand today and we ran through Curly's list.  

See Previous Post: Curly's List Here

Thanks for the help Warren. Very generous with his time!

Step 1. Charged her up and rode over, wasn't a fun trip she was running like a pig, farting, cursing and stalling.

Step 2.  Got Slapped

Step 3. Did anyway..

Step 4. Did anyway

Step 5. 5.66 ohms Between slip rings just over range (negligible) Passes test 1&2.

Step 6. 11.5-11.8 AC Volts  Within range 

Stator Bush @ Idle 11.2-11.7 ohms, drops when revving engine.

Battery @ High RPM  13.2V

Lights on @ idle Drop - 0.2-0.4

Summary the system seems to be functioning……..however there is a bit of a loss through the system.  So maybe the amount of short runs, stoping & Starting the bike is not getting a chance to charge up???

Sanded the battery connectors, to get a little more conductivity.  Thinking maybe a PMA will help & more kick less, elec starter.

Warren also adjusted the idle speed up so she behaved like a lady and rode beautifully home, no farting or stalling. Which was a good thing since it was the first time I have ridden in the rain and at night on the bike and many years since I have done so on any bike.

I was supposed to check the battery charge when I got home. But I was freezing cold, soaked, and in need of a piss. So regrettably I didn't.
