electric out put seems High

[mo goldie]

Hi I have checked all the wires and as I say the battery voltage stays the same so checked what was coming out of the Dynamo and I think all good, so you are thinking they have wired the box round the wrong way then,,,,,,, its just that if I put the green to yellow and the same with the yellow and green the other way round.......if its wrong will it damage the regulator ?

Hi Mo,

Just a suggestion but if you are concerned about the DVR2 contact Mike at Dynamo Regulators Ltd.   I am sure he will be able to help.  At bit of a long shot but is the DVR2 for 12v ie  white wire not connected.

Try testing the dynamo output at the DVR2 end of the F and D wires, if you have output there test the output from the DVR2 brown output wire.

Hi

yes I did contact him and had a chat and done a few things, but still no joy......but then in my moment of madness I had put my Fluke meter on the wrong setting so when i thought the Dynamo was pushing out 21 volts it is not it is 2.1 volts 
so it seems as the Dynamo is something wrong so any suggestions on why this is not sending out a good voltage ?

as I say I have followed to the letter I even just checked the way it was turning and from the nearside of the bike it is turning clockwise so the timing cover side it is then turning anti clockwise so that is right, and as I said I run it up like a motor ad the field coils must be right as this turned it anti clockwise.... so any more help please would be great.....its getting a bit on my nerves Now   

Cheers Mo

If you have dismantled the dynamo. Have a look at the armature behind the copper segments has it thrown solder. If it has overheated it will throw the solder off from where the windings join the segments. Check resistance across the two field winding leads should be about 2 ohms. Check resistance across a joining copper segments on the armature should be 1 ohm if no resistance then open circuit on windings. Armature is then scrap.

Well I have done all that I can....I checked out the ohm`s and that was 3.4 across the field coils so I had a look at the windings and could not see any signs of solder flying about so I took it all off the bike again double check everything that I had done so fused the F & D and run it up again like a motor which worked fine so I gave up..... I found an Auto Electrician firm near by and I have just said can they check it out, he told me to come back tomorrow but he said they do not have any parts and I would have to send it away to be done, he suspect it is the Armature and he gave me some bull story that it would cost somewhere around £800 ....anything to make Money out of us poor old bikers ha 

so that is where I am at the moment............ don't know what else to do...as if it is well bang go`s the bike on the road for a long while ha.

Cheers all Mo

Hi Mo,

Are you in the UK?  Try Priory Magnetos Ltd.

Dave.

[mo goldie]

Hi Dave yeah I will when I get it back thanks

[mo goldie]

well I got it back today and they said they could do nothing with it.......thats if they tried that is 

So I got on to a guy called Paul Dunn he seems to think it is still wired up wrong and he said if I send it to him he will check it out so that is where it has gone so hope all will be well when it comes back,,,,Mind you I did miss the last post of the day so wont go off now till Monday

I use AO regulators on every upgrade I do.

Hi guys

Well I got the Dynamo back yesterday afternoon and I can Now say that Paul Dunn did a great job on it,
now all fitted and it all works a treat the AMP Gauge now reads on the first part of the + scale when riding along
with all the lights on so I can also say thanks julians for the tip for the regulator as that is doing its job well too..... so I hope that everything keeps going fine, as I was out one the Bike today and went for a 40 mile ride and she went a treat. 

Cheers Mo
