Been noticing a slight whiff of hot wiring once in awhile on my bike of late so got to hunting before I put all the plastic back on and found one of the upper connectors carrying the stator leads had begun to cook a bit.This wasn'tthe usual ones down by the battery, I'd already hard wired them. I cut off the connector and hard wired the two leads. The interesting thing is that the Honda SEI electrical supplemental manual for the 1986 shows the famous three yellow leads leaving the stator, going to the three wire plug and socket by the battery, and then proceeding through two eight pin plug and sockets to arrive at the rectifier/regulator. Oddly enough on my bike the plug on the regulator wasn't an eight wire dude, it was a six wire and a two wire plug. There is a metal bracket that holds the two wire connector so it was factory installed. The six wire connector has a wire holder sticking out of the regulator. Anyway I was surprised that the schematic in the Honda Supplemental Manual for the 1986 SEI had that error. Perhaps it was the way the LTD was done and changed in 1986 without changing the manual.
If anyone has the '85 LTD manual could you take a look at the circuitry from the stator to the regulator and see how many connectors these leads go through and what kind of connectors they are? Thanks!
