Gotten too cold out here to do any painting so I just swapped out a battery terminal and the hood supports on the Jeep then fixed the front gate to our place. Need to finish replacing a switch in the living room ceiling fan later today.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Huuuuge thanks to Larry (nvr2old), Dale (rustybronco), Johnny Drummond, MisterCinders, Paul (laverda1200), and all the others on here that have lent advice, tips, and encouragement along the way. My lack of skills has left it not quite so perfect up close, but it's far far better than anything I could've done without that help, so thanks again guys!

Managed to move my bike into a friends' garage for the winter. Now I finally have a dry, heated workspace. Let the work begin!

Pulled the alternator on a 2000 'Chrysler' intrepid with a 2.7L.
Alternator is good, B+ from battery to alt is good, the wire to the field circuit measures okay (battery is disconnected). looks like the wire from the PCM to the alt could be open or possibly a driver (transistor) issue with the PCM. I need to disconnect the harness at the PCM and check it. (power is fed to the field and the PCM grounds the circuit)
If it's an issue with the PCM, I might have to rig up an external regulator for the field circuit.

Yesterday, helped Vmass adjust valves on his bike, then synchronized the carbs.
His bench sync was so close, I almost didn't want to try to get it any better.
Before we moved to changing the clutch springs, he mentioned a rattling that he had heard. Fired up the bike again and verified some extra noise. After pulling the clutch springs, we went ahead and pulled all the fibers to measure them (all are around 3.0mm). I looked at the large hub nut, and even though the washer appeared to be properly bent up to lock it, it was VERY loose. After flattening the lock washer, I was able to turn the nut almost two full turns.
Had to buy a socket to tighten the nut properly, then cleaned the oil level sight glass and re-assembled.
We did not get to the tire change and caliper rebuild that we had hoped to do, but he feels better having the valves, carb sync and clutch done.

I am certain that he was very appreciative.
