    Charges after start & then stops

    Sorry for delay, was gone on vacation & have not had chance to replace R/R until now. Installed electrosport unit & works as advertised. Problem solved. Thanks again to everyone for the help!! Time to ride

    Charges after start & then stops

    OK, think I got it. With the draw of the headlight removed it did drop after about 45 sec of running from 14.2V at 3K RPM but only to about 13.5. Not bad. Put headlight back in circuit & it went back to it's normal failure mode (12.4V after 30 sec). Taped two ice packs on the R/R for a few...

    Charges after start & then stops

    OK, pulled all fuses except ignition of course. Charged indeifntely at 14.2 V @ 3000 RPM or at least until engine started to get hot :) Added one fuse back at a time & all was well until the last one which was the headlamp (15 amp fuse). 30 sec or so after I added the fuse it dropped to 12.4...

    I gained about 3/4 of a volt when it does charge so happy in that regard. Great idea pulling fuses, I will give that a shot

    Charges after start & then stops

    Diode test was OK cold. I eliminated the splice completely. Gonna bring another VOM home from work tomorrow so I can monitor stator output when it stops charging. Thanks for the advice & I'll keep ya posted

    I haven't seen what AC readings would be plugged in, any ideas what they should be

    Charges after start & then stops

    I did the VAC check with it unplugged & it checks good on each leg even after several minutes of running.

    Charges after start & then stops

    My 99 charges after initial start & then after about 30 seconds it stops or at least decreases significantly. I replaced wiring from R/R, eliminated infamous splice, etc, checked stator & R/R per the book with VOM & all tests are good. It charges way better than it used to voltage wise after all...

    Erratic idle & Backfire

    Well, it took forever to get the Max put back together. Nothing like work & family to screw up your priorities...LOL First of all, thanks to all, especially Sean for all the help. I know I was a pest for awhile.... I dissassembled the carbs yet again & removed the jet blocks per Sean's...
