Jensey, Thanks for the help! That actually makes sense! So, on both the CA95 and the CB77, measuring on the Generator wires I get 13 and change at idle, and over 16 and change above 3500RPM. My multimeter is set at 200VAC for these readings. New question, should I see a major change at idle with the...

Jensey, Thankls for the reply. Let me see if I can clear it up a bit... Right now I am working on a '64 CA95 which I have converted to 12V. At the rectifier, I have a red wire coming from the battery and into the 12v + on the rectifier. I then have a Green/Yellow wire coming from the generator as we...

Checking a Rectifier What am I reading?

Hi Guys, Quick question: I have replaced my OEM Rectifier with a new Radio Shack one. At 3.3K RPM (Full advance), I am reading around 6.5 to 6.7 Volts on both wires coming off the Magneto, and 12.7 V off the Battery + lead, and a nice clean ground on the ground wire. The bike is running great, and t...

So, Its been a while since my last update, but for good reason! I have been working like crazy on the bike. And, SUCCESS!!! First of all, when the PO installed the Probe EI, he/she thought red from the control module went to red on the wiring harness in the bucket. Well, red in the bucket is the Mai...

OK, So I was coating the inside of the tank, and while I was waiting for it to cure, I decided to see if the EI worked on the black switched power circuit in the headlight bucket. My reasoning would be that if I used constant power, it would drain the battery when the bike was off. I plugged it in a...

OK, I dug in a bit more into the wiring harness. If you reference the pics above, the weird switch in the headlight bucket acted as a simple on/off on the RED Main Beam wire. On top of that, the red wire coming off the Probe Engineering EI unit is also spliced on this same circuit. The result was th...
