    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Need help with electrics please

We measured the forward bias resistance of at least one diode when we talked on the phone and it was around 500 ohms. Each diode measures out at around 500-540 ohms each.

Replace with the RR I sent today and we test again. If it still does it look for a stator wire touching another wire in a harness somewhere.

The RR I sent you today developed 14.4 @3000RPM last night, my wife verified it by coming downstairs to ask me how much longer I intended to race motorcycle engines at 11:30 PM and she thinks it works plenty good enough too.

Quick Update

The RR I sent you today developed 14.4 @3000RPM last night, my wife verified it by coming downstairs to ask me how much longer I intended to race motorcycle engines at 11:30 PM and she thinks it works plenty good enough too.

I measured 14.6V @ 5k rpm. This was on the r/r output while the red wires were still connected. However, I only measure 13v across the battery at the same time. Shouldn't these be the same? If so I must have missed a dirty connector or something.

I get about the same measurements on both the r/r units you sent. Clearly this is not an r/r issue.

Anyway, I REALLY appreciate you ruling out anything by sending me the second r/r. You have been very helpful and clearly your reputation for providing a bullet proof r/r at a reasonable price and bending over backward to help a brother out is intact.

So, I still have really weak spark. I guess the next step is replacing the Martek ignition with stock and see if that helps. I think I've replaced everything else!
