Dear All,
I'm back again with continued charging problems... I have installed a new Lucas Single phase 12V 120W 2 wire stator and rotor, Lucas Reg1 120w rectifier/regulator, new gel battery and installed a wiring loom to the diagram shared in the link below;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GXNfvI ... sp=sharing
After a top-end rebuild the bike runs beautifully, except after 4 miles when the battery runs flat, sputters to a stop, and is difficult to start again! The ammeter dips below 1/2 way with pilot lights switched on, and remains down once they are switched off. I have also noticed the ignition coil gets very hot when the ignition is switched on, but the bike not running. I have switched out the ignition coil to test, with the same result.
I have tried a few basic tests with my multimeter on the battery, and blown the Reg1 by removing certain wires (which I replaced), but still no luck.
If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions or similar issues, I would be glad to hear as I'm at a loss as where to look next!
Many thanks
