Bike revs up makes 18 plus volts

Hey guys, threw a voltage tester on the battery while the 66 305 scrambler runs. The meter will go north of 18 volts when I rev it up. I replaced the regulator/ rectifier that was melted and here I am. The bike was fine till I ran it without a battery. Then the regulator fried. Then I replaced it. Now it will run on one cylinder intermittently off the charger and the battery dies quickly. Where to start? Thanks all! I need to post the interesting back story to how I got this bike !

Check the condensor, sounds like that could be the cause of that.

How do I check it? Or just rePlace them both?

There is plenty of info here on this charging system.

Use the search function at the top of this page to look in the archives and Happy reading.

The condensors have nothing to do with charging or battery voltage.
