Hi Caulky, thanks for the much appreciated info. I have connected up the rec/reg with the exception of the BLACK wire from rec/reg. I take it this wire connects to the BROWN/WHITE wire, that I have traced to the ammeter and then on to the battery (positive earth bike). In my head this makes sense as the ammeter needs a feed to indicate if the battery is charging, but just checking for peace of mind.
The battery is definitely past it, but I also think the old lucas rectifier has had it too. the plastic coating has melted, blistered and fallen off. If I find out that the alternator is on its way out, I'll replace it and the rotor and maybe go for the 6v coils too. Drummie.
