500 W regulator help needed

Post by Canuck750 »

I have been having an on and off struggle with getting a regulator / rectifier to work. Last year I had the stator rewound by Westcounty Windings, just the 5 charging coils and not the ignition coil. I have converted the bike to Sasche Ignition. I had installed a reg/rec from Rick's Moto Electirc n the USA that is advertised as working on a Ducat single phase stator (I have the same unit in my 1975 Ducati 860 GT with Sasche ignition). The reg/rec worked for a while but now its not putting out anything on the DC side.

The Morini 500 with the 5 charging coils has two wires coming out (as discussed with Westcounty Windings this was all I that is needed). At 5000 rpm the stator is putting out about 60 volts AC from the two wires coming from the stator coils.

I just bought a new Ducati 2 wire reg/rec from Mdina Italy and hooked it up as I figure is correct: the two wires from the stator (my stator has one yellow and one red from the coils) connected to the two G terminals on the reg/rec. A brown jumper wire from reg/rec R+B terminal to fuse box brown wire terminal and a ground wire from the reg/rec body to engine ground.

I am not getting anything above the 12.4 volts of the fully charged battery at idle or up to 5000 rpm. So in effect I am not getting anything out of the reg/rec in DC voltage.

I must have something not connected properly, any help much appreciated

this is the reg that came with the bike, can anyone tell me where the white and red wires go, the two yellow to reg/rec yellow posts and the green goes to ground I assume
This reg/rec is testing good for diodes between a yellow ad red wire om both yellow wires (current in one direction only)

I just can not get DC volts out of it, I tried the red wire to fuse box and I also took a reading off the red wire to my multimeter, nothing. I do not have the white hooked up to anything yet.

I cant get any of the three reg/rec I have to send DC volts.
