85 gw interstate.
The bike starts up great, will run for 5 minutes. During that time the regulator / rectifier gets so hot you cannot touch it. Then it dies and will not start again for an hour or so.
I have done the measurements on the R / R I read 2 Meg Ohms and Infinate when reversed on each of the measurements. I have read of others with these same measurements on known good R / R
I immediatly assumed that the R / R was needing replaced but since then I have read of others with similiar problems replacing starter and or stator. The 3 pin plug on the stator to battery is browning.
Any troubleshooting tips you can give me will be very much appreciated! I'd hate to purchase all of these parts trying to figure out which is the faulty one!
Thanks a million!
