VERY BUMMED and need some help/advice

the oil problem of it disappearing on him might be that his carbs are leaking into the motor and diluting the oil making it thinner and being blown out the exhaust maybe
perhaps it's time to take the carbs off and do a deep cleaning and rebuild o-rings and all

I was going to mention the petcock but I was waiting to see if he solved the electrical issue first.

good thing you did i forgot about the petcock that most likely needs to be looked at as well

Sorry, gonna have to call you on that one.

Bikes do NOT "use AC ... power", they generate it. The only place that AC exists on the bike is between the stator and the r/r. The combination of magnets and stator windings generates AC current that is then rectified (that's the r/ in r/r) to DC (direct current) and regulated (that's the /r) to about 14 volts and sent to the rest of the bike.

Actually, a NEW r/r will be in the range of $130-160, but you can get a used, tested unit from member "duaneage". Do a search for his name, you will see his information on how to order one from him for $40.

.

I was wondering when something was going to be said..

Sorry, Just joking, didn't mean anything by it, just stirring things up. But I did think I read "Quote" Bikes don't use AC...power.
