Hi guys, I am new to this so be gentle..
I ahve a 1983 GSD550L that is having some issues. I am working on the fuel deliviery issues with the carb as can be expected but the PO also told me about some electrical issues that I will run into once I get it running again. Apparently when he first got the bike it ran great and as he had some general maintanince done on it he noticed that two wires had been poking out of the stator case since he had owned (sorry he doesn't remember what colors they were). the bike. he asked the shop to tuck them back into the case which they did but the bone heads must have grounded them out because after they did so the bike would only run for 45 min until the battery would die. The PO wound up doing a 1.5hr ride from Los Angeles to Ojai, CA by carrying an extra battery and switching it out on the side of the highway!
I have a vol/ohm meter but haven't cracked the case open as I've been mostly working with the carb and fuel issues first but i want to start thinking about this issue too.
I was wondering if anybody had any leads (pun intended) as to which wires could be hanging out of the stator and allow it to run normally so that i can hunt them down and see if they're grounded when they shouldn't be. Thanks for any help you guys may have!
