Hi all,
New here on the forum, and I wondered if somebody could help, 'cause we don't have any RE dealers in Denmark, so I'm seeking to pick your collective brains
The other day while starting, I noticed the starter motor ran a bit slow, and suddenly smoke emerged from to wires going from the battery to (I presume from reading the diagram) the Ammeter and the ignition key fob.
My suggestion is, that the (Indian made) rectifier somehow gave up the ghost and sent a massive charge via those skinny wires - could that cause such a problem?
I have enclosed a photo of the wires in question.
I have ordered a Boyer Branson rectifier to replace the (assumed) faulty Indian unit, but before I go ahead and mount it, it would be nice if somebody among you could confirm that it indeed COULD be a rectifier problem - or have a suggestion to what else it could be that caused the heated wires ...?
Thanks in advance for any help given - it will be much appreciated
Kind regards
