I've spent some time last week reading through the old forum here and picked up some good tips before it gets pulled for good. Based on that I checked out the condition of the connector block under my side panel and it looks slightly melted and brown. The wires seem okay. Before I get the soldering iron out, how do I test for proper charging (have a multi-meter)?

Testing the stator is very easy do, you only nead a voltmeter set to above 50volts AC, connect either wire from the meter (red and black) to to any pair yellow wires, with the engine running at about 3000rpm you should get around 50volts AC if any pair of the the yellow wires do not show this votage the stater may be suspect. Test number two, set your mutimeter to OHMS, then with the engine NOT running test each pair of yellow wires, you should have continuity ie; a complete curcuit, on each pair of the yellow tested. Test number three, with the mutimeter set to OHMS with the engine NOT running clip one of the meter wires to earth then test each individual yellow wire with the other meter wire, in this test you should NOT have continuity ie; NOT a complete curcuit. Mike (Walsall) This isn't me, but I figured Mike deserves the credit. Hope you don't mind Mike.
